US seeks to disintegrate Yemen for its oil resources’

NOVANEWS Yemen has also large proven reserves of natural gas. A senior Yemeni politician has accused the United States of trying to disintegrate the country in order to gain control of its oil sources. Yemeni Revolution Salvation Front spokesman, Sultan al-Samei, told Al-Alam news channel on Tuesday that the US is seeking to strengthen its military presence in Yemen under the pretext of al-Qaeda in the south of the country while the real reason is gaining control of Yemen’s oil. ''Under the pretext of combating al-Qaeda, America seeks to strengthen its military presence in Yemen and break up the country to gain control of its oil sources,'' al-Samei said adding that the terrorists groups operating in Yemen and other countries are US elements paving the way for the direct interventio...

Yemen’s Election: New Puppet

NOVANEWS Opposition to the deal is also strong in other regions. Southern Yemen, a separate country before unification with the more populous north in 1991, has been increasingly racked by separatist unrest. Despite being a southerner himself, Mr Hadi is disliked for his commanding role in a 1994 war that saw the north violently crush a bid for renewed southern independence. Not surprisingly, voter turnout across the south was poor—albeit this was partly due to armed assaults on polling stations, such as one in the port city of Aden that killed several soldiers and sent foreign election-observers scampering for cover. The election was also widely ignored in the far north, where a rebel group known as the Houthis has taken advantage of the year’s unrest to strengthen its grip. One vote, on...

Like Sunday But Shorter Starting with Yemen

NOVANEWS FORMER WEST POINTER, NOW A GENERAL Americas Ignorant Dupes, When Are We Firing the Bunch? by Gordon Duff, Senior Editor Today, America learned it had been “used” in Yemen. Our drone attacks were based on “intelligence” that had us killing political enemies of a dictator no sensible person would accept a glass of scotch from without having it tested by the CDC. Nearly 2 years ago, VT warned the DOD and CIA about this. Then we caught an Israeli crew running a phony Al Qaeda cell there, hired to do that by the US, I have no doubt. We are that crooked. The Detroit “Crotch Bomber” was part of that effort. Today, the Turks killed 35 “smugglers” in Kurdistan. Why? Israel has sent troops into Kurdistan after the US left. They are running terror operations against ...

Saleh Transfers Power, Opposition MP Named Yemen’s New PM

NOVANEWS in Uncategorized ed note–a year ago when the ‘Arab spring’ was beginning, one of the things we here at TUT pointed out was the fact that it is the demographics in the Middle East–specifically that half the population is under the age of 25–that has Israel and the West the most worried. Young people embrace young ideas espoused by young leaders. That being the case, as far as Israel and the West are concerned–ALL THE ‘OLD-TIMERS’ have to go in order to satisfy that ‘biological need’ on the part of these young people. Therefore, those who are looking at Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain and other places and noting that the West is not assisting in ‘regime change’ there as they did in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and now–Syria–remember this–IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. antiwar.com Yemeni Pr...

The case of Reuters in Yemen

By: Tomwfinn Mohamed Sudam looks on as President Saleh greets former US secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.This week Reuters ran into trouble when it surfaced that one of their local Yemeni reporters, Mohammed Sudam, was also working as the president’s personal translator and secretary. Reuters had known about his presidential interpreting work for years (Sudam having informed them) but they continued working with him as a part-time stringer. This would likely still have been the case had Sudam not been kidnapped in October byAli Mohsen, a powerful renegade general backing the anti-Saleh protesters. When a group of Yemeni journalists went to demand his release they were told by General Mohsen that Sudam had been kidnapped “as an employee of the president, not as a journalist.” Mohse...

NOVANEWS American puppet security agencies in Yemen have no substantial evidence that al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in a recent airstrike in the eastern province of Mareb, an official security source said Thursday. ‘The latest information available to the security agencies is that al-Awlaki was driving in a motorcade of three cars when a US drone targeted them (on September 30),’ the source told the Yemeni website Mareb Press on condition of anonymity.

Yemen: Protester Killings Show Perils of Immunity Deal

(New York) – Yemeni security forces used excessive force when they opened fire on anti-government protesters in Sanaa on September 18, 2011, and in Taizz on September 19, killing at least 27 and wounding hundreds, Human Rights Watch said today. Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that security forces in Sanaa first sprayed demonstrators with sewage, and then, after protesters responded by throwing rocks, fired directly on them without warning, using rocket-propelled grenades as well as assault rifles and heavy machine guns. The attacks began six days after President Ali Abdullah Saleh authorized his vice president to resume negotiations on a Gulf Cooperation Council-brokered accord, backed by the United States and the European Union, under which the president would resign in exchange for ...

US Zionist Drone Strikes Kill 10, Wound Dozens in Southern Yemen

NOVANEWS antiwar.com The usual fighting on the ground continued apace in the southern Yemeni province of Abyan, with 8 soldiers and 17 militants reportedly killed in today’s fighting. The Yemeni government has been trying to reoccupy the province since it was lost in late May. Increasingly, however, the ground warfare is taking a back seat to air strikes. The Yemeni government has been pounding the area with its warplanes, and US drones are increasingly active, killing at least 10 people today in several strikes. All 10 of the slain were termed “al-Qaeda militants” by the Yemeni military, which is what they’ve called virtually everybody killed in the province. A group calling itself Ansar al-Sharia is in control of the provincial capital. In addition to the slain, the US attacks wound...
