February 29, 2012, several thousand Yemenis have taken to the streets in the southern city of Taizz, demanding the U.S. ambassador leave.
Since 2011 Yemenis have been protesting against their authoritarian government. Have you heard anything from the U.S. government about forcing regime change, as they did in Libya, and as they are in Syria? Of course not, that’s because the criminal Yemen government is pro-U.S.
Recently the president of 20 years stepped down, to be replaced by the only candidate in an almost instantly held election! The people of Yemen say the United States and Saudi Arabia were behind the farce of an election.
However, the former president, and his sons, still hold onto key government positions.
