Clashes in Yemen as Thousands Rally Against Government
VOA ^ | February 12th, 2011 at 2:35 pm UTC | Staff

Posted on 02/12/2011 7:53:33 AM PST by fight_truth_decay

Thousands of protesters gathered in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, Saturday to celebrate the resignation of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak and call for their own president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to step down.

The protesters began marching toward the Egyptian embassy but were confronted and pushed back by a group of men armed with sticks. There were conflicting reports as to whether the armed men were police or government supporters.

The gathering points for Saturday's protests were Sana'a University and the city's Tahrir Square, which bears the same name as the rallying point for the protests in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.

I thought the poster was joking, he’s not, EEK.

Surely by now everyone knows at least on here that it is the communists, socialists and marxists Ayers, wife, Soros and obama who are behind this push to get rid of our allies while moving radical islam into the area and then getting rid of Israel in the end

I know the corrupt biased media we have here are the propaganda wing of the far left now but I wouod habve thought that with all the info out there that people would have done their own homework and nto be taken in by this crap of “well this is freedom, this is Bush bla bla”

I think the term we are looking for is “Republic”.

Yes, you are right. Thx for the correction. I was referring to a democratic process, such as our great Republic has ; )

It’s time for Israel to come public and reveal some secrets about obama and how his far left terrorists with the help of radical muslims are working together.


Amen to that. I wonder why 0bama hasn’t been exposed sooner.

Wiki says “Tahrir” means “liberation” in Arabic.

Theres several uses but one main one according to Wiki is:

Hizb ut-Tahrir - an international pan-Islamic political organisation whose goal is for all Muslim countries to unify as an Islamic state or caliphate ruled by Islamic law

Nice

Nothing much to do except yell after a long week squatting and chewing qat and squatting and bowing to the moon god.


Happy times in Yemen

Thanks PF. No Problem, I’ve been running on a terrible cold this week, as long as someone can figure out my gibberish - that’s good : )

It’s been great sharing on the threads the last couple of weeks. It looks like the same theme will continue for some time though.

Greetings PSYCHO-FREEP:

One of my pals was a very lucky young man that escaped Iran in the winter 1979. A Tehran University student at the time; duped by one of his favorite Marxist professors into joining the street protests against the Shah. Shortly after the Ayatollahs took over, his useful idiot professor was beheaded.

He recognizes, that it was only by God’s grace that he escaped Iran when he did. Shortly afterward, Saddam’s invasion assured a complete wipe-out of his generation of Iranian males.

Cheers,
OLA

John Bolton was just aired on FOX when he addressed a crowd. He was deadly accurate in his description of the future situation and the damage that Obama has done and his mishandling of the situation.

Thank God for your insight and better instinct!

If you think Iraq would be “free” if we left, I would disagree. If that is true, that it is only us that is keeping Iraq “free,” then how free is it really? I sincerely hope Bush has nothing to do with these uprisings. The people behind them are not interested in freedom or liberty or human rights. They are leftists and muslim thugs.

These are food riots masquerading as “democracy” movements.

I wonder if ‘conservatives’ will poo poo these protesters and support this corrupt socialist yemeni president and want to keep sending him our tax dollars due to fear of ‘islamists’.

Maybe he is a ‘friend’ of cheneys and ‘not a dictator’, who ‘should’t step down’ according to Biden.
