.- The Yemeni police killed a protester Sunday, witnesses said, information denied by the regime, whose president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, called for an end to the protests of the opposition, demanding his resignation for trading. President Saleh, a U.S. ally in the war against terrorism, said he was willing to leave power, which holds 32 years, but in the context of an orderly constitutional process.
At the same time, police violently dispersed demonstrators in the city of Taez, south of Sana'a, killing a young man who was shot in the chest, witnesses said. As reported, the boy was hit by a bullet tore a picture when the head of state. Hundreds of demonstrators were injured or affected by tear gas fired by police, then followed by live bullets, against a protest that marched to the seat of governor in the city.
Taez Governor was quoted by the official news agency Saba, however denied that there was a dead, while claiming that eight members of the security forces were wounded, one seriously. Thousands of protesters camped out since mid-February in downtown Taez, claiming, as in Sana'a and Aden (South), Saleh's regime fell, 69.
The protest movement, initiated in late January, accelerated after the death in Sanaa on March 18, 1952 shooting demonstrators blamed on supporters of the president. Abandoned by the army and the tribal and religious leaders, Saleh warned against the risk of chaos in Yemen when forced to leave power and mass was able to mobilize their supporters on 25 March and 1 April.
On Sunday called on the opposition gathered in the Joint Forum to "put an end to the crisis and lift the sitting cease (...) cut roads and lay down the rebellion in some military units." "We are ready to discuss a peaceful transfer of power in the constitutional framework," reiterated the president, who has already offered to leave office after the general elections in late 2011.
However, not responded to the offer that had made the day before the opposition. According to the proposal, Saleh had to resign in favor of his Vice President Abed Rabo Mansour Hadi, a member of his own party, General People's Congress (GPC). Hadi would thus become "interim president." The offer of the opposition provides immediate reorganization of the security apparatus, the backbone of the regime, including Homeland Security, State Security and the Presidential Guard, controlled by relatives of Saleh.
These would, under the authority of the Ministries of Interior and Defense. The opposition also demands the formation of a joint interim government led by the opposition and that includes "all political parties, youth and entrepreneurs." More than two months of demonstrations in this desperately poor country on the Arabian peninsula have caused at least 95 dead, according to the NGO Amnesty International.
This instability concerns the United States, which fears a resurgence of followers of Osama bin Laden in Yemen and in Saudi Arabia targeted by extremists of Al Qaida.
