Yemen’s Houthi rebels have announced today that they are dissolving parliament and seizing power outright, with plans to install a new five-seat interim presidential council and a temporary parliament pending new elections.
The plan for an interim council seems remarkably similar to what Yemeni officials were talking about yesterday, and it isn’t clear why those talks broke down and the Houthis decided to impose the solution unilaterally.
The US State Department has made it clear they oppose the presidential council solution, and any transitional government at all. The US was a major supporter of President Hadi, who was installed in a single-candidate vote, and has been riled up since Hadi’s resignation last month.
Sunni tribes in southern Yemen are also rejecting the Houthi takeover as a “coup.” Some of the Sunni tribes have been backing al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), seeing them as the only credible alternative to the Houthis.
Let no man rule my domain
And rightly so, for the Houthis Tribes have established a monopoly on the use of force and violence over all of Ukraine and even by moral law they have the blood-guilt for all that goes wrong. So why give up the slightest control?
Especially why give up control to an elected government, as it is nothing more then the organized will of the upper half of society, the most greed driven half as they always vote to enslave by poverty the lower half.
Good job u.s. govt again for f-ing up another country.
Hypocrisy — What corporate owned mainstream media is all about
Comes now mainstream corporate media, all owned by the corporate rich and they to try and fool the public into thinking that the State of Yemen and all the government therein is only “a Shia militia.”
Pure fiction, fantasy and fairytale, otherwise the coup in Ukraine would now be called a fascist militia and not a government.
But the sad fact is, any power combine of men that can must the deadly force needed to terrorize the public into submission, they constitute a state and are the government in fact.
