An unnamed motorcyclist, shortly after dawn, opened fire on the garrison of anti-government protesters in the coastal town of al-Hudaydah, Yemen. The protesters were preparing for the dawn prayer, the first of the five canonical observant Muslims. According to testimonies gathered by international news agencies, the motorcyclist was shot in the pile of people camped out for days to show their opposition to President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in power for over thirty years.
The budget of the attack is at least one person dead and eight wounded. What happened may well be the most immediate response to the political impasse developed during yesterday's meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Yemen. It is the second crisis of the Arab spring that reaches the maximum international forum, after the Libyan.
The meeting of the Security Council ended with a half-smoked black: words of condemnation of the repression and the invitation to the warring parties to "use restraint" to "stop the violence," since the beginning of the protests against Saleh, three months ago, have caused over 120 deaths, of which at least 26 children and adolescents, according to UNICEF.
In view of the meeting of the United Nations body, even yesterday in the Yemeni capital Sanaa were clashes between government forces and demonstrators, backed by the army. Another four deaths and a dozen injured to add to the account of the President governs the Yemen since 1978 and which does not seem the least willing to give up, despite the increasing international isolation.
UN, as reported by U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice at a press conference, the ambassadors of many countries of the Council had not received clear guidance from their capitals. So, it was not possible to approve the much tougher sentencing motion tabled by Germany and Lebanon. The land of the cedars occupies a seat among the rotating Council in the case of Libya and already has promoted the motion that led to the resolution that opened the field of international military intervention.
Could you repeat the same scenario in the case of Yemen? While there are no direct oil interests at stake, the Arab country still controls the entrance to the Red Sea, one of the "bottlenecks" of commercial maritime routes in the world. For this, according to diplomatic voices, Russia and China (two of the countries still undecided on what to do) WOULD BE waiting to see if mediation efforts between the rebels and government initiated by Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC ) can be successful.
The positions remain far apart. The rebels demand the immediate resignation of Saleh, an end to repression and start a transition to a multiparty political system more democratic. Saleh does not want to leave and give up the power architecture that has built for himself and his family (a son commands the Republican Guard, the best departments of the Yemeni armed forces).
The proposal on which the GCC is working, after a meeting with a government delegation that Saleh has passed his hand to his deputy, without specifying what might be the fate of the president that the rebels want out of the country soon. The stalemate reinforced hard to unlock, none of the two fields seems to have in hand a card decisive.
One way to start another Friday prayers and protests. Perhaps, another Friday in the blood. In collaboration with Enzo Feed Letter 22
