Violent repression of Yemen’s protesters led to 24 deaths on Tuesday in Sanaa and Taizz.
Demonstrations were put down near Sanaa university, and dissident Gen. Ali Mohsen Ahmar maintains that an assassination attempt was made on his life by members of the presidential guard.
Aljazeera English reports on the renewed protests and violence.
I don’t hear much talk in the US press or elsewhere about this sort of indiscriminate and intentional fire on civilian being carried out by Ali Abdullah Saleh as being “a war crime that he may well end up being tried for at the Hague.”
I mean, just from what I have read here, through reuters, on al jazeera, and from googling various sources under news for ‘yemen’, over the last few weeks or so there must be by now hundreds and hundreds of deaths plus thousands of these poor people wounded….I haven’t seen any new services or websites either that are keeping track of all this or making counts/noting sources, as some anti-war websites did for iraq etc. Do you know of any, Juan?
