Yemen Uprising and Armoured Car's

Armoured Cars and Yemen Protests

Tension is very high in Yemen where the regime's armoured cars have been deployed on the streets of Sanaa. This immediately followed the decision by General Mohsen al-Ahmar, a top army officer, to resign and join the demonstrators.


After the massacre of over 50 demonstrators last Friday, UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, condemned the use of violence against the crowd using armoured cars . In the meantime in the north of the country 20 people died in violent clashes between the army and Shiite rebels, who fought yesterday for a few hours over control of a strategic position in the northern province of Al-Jawf
