The distrust came over Yemen on Sunday, a day after opposition president and approved in principle the plan of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for a peaceful transfer of power. Opponents do not trust Ali Abdullah Saleh who will leave office, while the environment of the agent required to accept the entire agreement before submitting it to your signature.
Thousands of activists in Sana'a and other cities in Yemen demonstrated that output against ensuring the immunity of Saleh and his associates. "We, the youth of the revolution, reject any proposal that does not give Saleh responsible for the deaths of at least 140 protesters," said the organizing committee of the Youth Revolution in a statement.
The group also said it objected to the plan of the GCC because it requires an immediate exit of the president. For activists, the mediation of their neighbors had tried to "save the regime, not helping people." These were also initially the demands of opposition parties. Allied under the umbrella of the Common, seven groups, led by the Islamist Islah and the Socialist Party, have capitalized on the protests to regain lost political initiative to legitimize the government of Saleh with his participation in parliament.
However, as happened in Tunisia and Egypt, the young activists and act independently and at the beginning of the crisis forced the forum to back down after accepting an invitation to dialogue between the ruling party. "The Gulf initiative addresses the problem as if it were a crisis between two political parties, while we have taken to the streets to demand a total change of system," said one student leader, Abdel Malik al Yusufi, a Agence France Presse.
The young (and not so young) fear that the traditional parties sacrifice for political gain the aspirations of the hundreds of thousands of demonstrators for three months have taken to the streets across the country calling for democratic reforms. "No negotiation, no dialogue. Resigns or go" chant again expressing deep distrust of the president's intentions.
According to the plan of the GCC, comprising Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, a week after its signing must form a government of national unity to the 29 th day, the Parliament adopted the law of immunity, and the next day, Saleh resigns, the vice president takes the head of state on a provisional basis and calls elections.
"You have to see if he really is," said a Western diplomat who has closely followed the negotiations, perhaps caught by the widespread skepticism of the Yemenis. Although both Saleh and opposition have announced that they accept this proposal, no one has signed anything. According to a spokesman for the Yemeni government, Genadi Abdu, the ruling requires that the entire plan opponents subscribe or rejection, and will not accept partial agreements.
But they refuse to enter a unity government for fear that Saleh's resignation. Ambiguity is not the first time the president changes his mind at the last minute. Just a month ago from a first retracted agreement brokered by the U.S. ambassador because of snipers associated with the security forces killed 52 demonstrators in Sana'a.
Saleh people close to him described as fickle in their decisions. He himself acknowledged in an interview with the BBC that the withdrawal did not close the crisis and had accepted the plan of the GCC face of intense international pressure to leave. "This is a coup. I call from the U.S.
and Europe to hand over power. Who should I give it?" Those who try to strike? No, we will through the ballot box. We will invite international observers but will not accept a coup or external support to it, "said Saleh maintaining ambiguity about their intentions. In addition, the Yemeni president repeated that his departure would "exacerbate the crisis" because he said that Al Qaeda has infiltrated the protest movement.
"Camping is in violation of public order," he said several times despite the protesters scoffed at the accusation. "Why the West does not pay attention to these destructive implications? West created Al Qaeda during the cold war in Afghanistan and paid the price. Now you're ignoring what Al Qaeda is doing in Yemen and will pay the price," he said.
The tone of his statements and continued to shake the specter of a possible civil war makes many Yemenis doubt his retirement after 32 years in power. "Of course I do not think so. It's just a way to deceive international public opinion", said by telephone from Sanaa KM. This professional unemployed, who from the beginning has participated in demonstrations in the capital, was convinced that the situation will not be solved by political means.
"This is serious. The Republican Guard has begun to move weapons in the mountains northwest of Sanaa and tanks placed in strategic locations. Gen. Ali Mohsen also taking positions across the city," explained the source, has military experience. At the moment, a confrontation between supporters and opponents left four wounded Saleh Turbah, a village in Taiz province, south of the capital, the agency said.
In addition, five people, four of them soldiers, were killed in a skirmish between a Republican Guard unit and members of a tribe in the province of Lahj, according to security forces.
