Outgoing president of Yemen Ali Saleh has flip flopped again as he has many times on other issues. After claiming that he was going to the U.S. for medical treatment he has now said that he will remain in Yemen.
Saleh may be attempting to ensure that his family and party retains control of events. There are both internal revolts and also protesters in the streets.
A son and nephew of Saleh command the Republic Guard and Central Security forces giving them a great deal of power. Under an agreement brokered by the GCC with the support of the Saudis and the U.S. Saleh transferred power to his vice president Abed Hadi. He will formally relinquish the presidency after he is granted immunity.
Protesters reject the deal. They want Saleh and others to be held responsible for the deaths of many protesters and other crimes. Unrest has increased with strikes in many government institutions. The military has seen defections in support of the protesters.
In a statement Saleh said: “It is not possible in any way, shape or form to allow the collapse of state establishments and institutions that have been built over the last 49 years,” Translated this means that Saleh has decided to stay in Yemen and work to retain the power of his family and himself.
