Operation: Yemen – #opyemen

Some facts about Yemen:

1- Ali Abdullah Saleh has been President of Yemen since 1990,  and President of North Yemen from 1978 to 1990. Saleh’s victory was marked by an election that international observers judged to be “partly free”, though the election was accompanied by violence, violations of press freedoms, and allegations of fraud.

2- 10 March: Doctors who treated protesters claimed that what had initially been assumed to be tear gas, used by military to disperse the protesters, might have been nerve gas

“We are seeing symptoms in the patient’s nerves, not in their  respiratory systems. I’m 90 per cent sure its nerve gas and not tear gas  that was used,” said Sami Zaid, a doctor at the Science and Technology  Hospital in Sanaa.

Mohammad Al-Sheikh, a pathologist at the same hospital, said that some  of the victims had lost their muscular control and were forced to wear  diapers.

3- The big problem with Yemen isn’t Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Nor is it the Zaidi Shiite rebellion in Yemen’s north or the separatist movement in Yemen’s south. It isn’t the 40 percent unemployment. It isn’t the near one-in-10 childhood mortality rate or the malnutrition that causes more than half the country’s children to be stunted.

No, the big problem with Yemen is Yemen’s president — Saleh.

4- But one of the most delicate tasks will be managing the relationship with the president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has filled his government with numerous members of his family and who wants to ensure that his son Ahmed succeeds him

In the recent uprisings, the Arab people have gained awakening.  As fear has vanished from their lives, they have started asking for what’s their human birthright: Freedom.  The brave people of Yemen, have joined the massive struggle to get what has been denied from them for ages.

Instead of understanding this is way beyond the control of classic powers, governments have showed brutality towards the righteous claims of the people. The world is getting sick of seeing murderers slaughter it’s citizens for the sake of a power they think is given eternally to them.

We are not willing to tolerate this. Anonymous expresses in these few lines, its commitment to the cause of freedom in Yemen.  To the right of people to decide their future, to the right of students to obtain knowledge, to the right of workers to have a decent life, to the right of believers to praise who they want.

People of Yemen.  We are willing to contribute to your fight against oppression with all our means, with all our hearts, with all our will, until the global goal is achieved:  A free country, with free citizens, choosing together their future.

The consciousness of the people in the world cannot ignore and condone such a situation!  Down with the dictator of a president and his team of bandits! The enemy is president Ali Abdullah Saleh and his oppressive regime.  The president is a liar and a mass murderer and he must pay for his crimes.

After the massacre of peaceful unarmed demonstrators on Friday the 18th president Saleh denied his security forces were even present and accused the deaths of at least 52 people and injuring of over 200 on residents of the university square area.

While the world focuses on Libya, the US and EU openly ignore the blatant human rights violations and purposeful killings of civilians in the Persian gulf area, and allow democracy to be crushed and citizens there to continue to be oppressed.

People of Yemen, Anonymous has not forgotten you. We are on your side.
