Earlier today, Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi declared talks with the rebel Houthis to have reached “a dead end” and announced his immediate resignation. He was a captive of the rebels at the time, and it’s unclear if the resignation was forced.
The latest reports, however, are that Yemen’s parliament has since held an emergency meeting and rejected Hadi’s resignation, leaving his status up in the air for the time being.
The parliament is planning a second “emergency” session on Friday to try to resolve the crisis, though with the Houthis holding the capital city and a large portion of the country, it isn’t clear what parliament can actually do at this point.
The Houthis have been seeking a power-sharing deal and reforms to the draft constitution that is being worked on. There had been reports as recently as Wednesday that Hadi was going to agree to those reforms, but he followed that up with a resignation, meaning the status of the constitution, like everything else in Yemen, is simply unclear.
The United Arab Emirates were the hidden hands behind the mess in Yemen.The want to bring back the old dictator Saleh and his cronies.They have been working very hard to sabotage the Arab spring movements everywhere.The succeeded in Egypt and established a worse than Mubarak dictator in order to safeguard hold on power in Fiefdom.
We can only hope that this scares the crap out of the old men in Riyadh.

And now all of corporate owned mainstream media, including corporate funded DemocracyNow.org, crying in their beer because Obama will no longer be able to use his killer drone program in Yemen.
Problem is, while Obama was wasting time drone killing a few Al Qaeda leaders, many more school kids then leaders actually, the Houthis Army proceeded to win the Yemen Civil War and is now a full blown and well established State. A State being any group that has a monopoly on the use of force and violence.

Pure corporate propaganda is this war glorifying movie and of such Hollywood brainwash for the mainstream gullible, as to break all world records for gross profit in a two week period — over $20 million.
Problem is, the movie was based on a book authored by the gutless wonder sniper who in the Iraq War, broke all records for sniper assassinations during a time of war. For in this Civil War designed to forever keep the impoverished lower half enslaved, this sniper-hero killed only civilians as everyone in the military were legalized killers working for the Iraq government.
For when the hero was Informed that the US military had a rule of engagement that required snipers to shoot dead on sight any woman, child or elderly who looked like family to a rebel, his heroic response was,
“Whatever.”
