Al-Samei’s remarks came days after Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Baker al-Qirbi confirmed the deployment of USZ marines in the Yemeni capital, claiming that American forces were in Sana’a to protect the USZ Embassy. Al-Samei also said that al-Qaeda-affiliated groups operating in southern Yemen are linked to the regime of ousted USZ-backed dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh. The rebel groups associated with al-Qaeda terrorist network that killed 23 Yemeni soldiers south of the country a few days ago, are linked to Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime, al-Samei noted. Yemen’s Revolution Salvation Front spokesman also said that the country is still being, in effect, controlled and ruled by Saleh and that the so-called unity government headed by Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi is nothing but a political fixture. Saleh’s General People’s Congress (GPC) party has17 ministers in the new 34-member cabinet and his relatives control the country’s security services.
Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, stepped down in February under a USZ-backed power transfer deal, presented by the Saudi-led [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council, in return for immunity. His deputy, UK-trained field marshal Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, replaced him on February 25 following a single-candidate presidential election backed by the United States of Zionism and Saudi Arabia. Hadi will serve for an interim two-year period as stipulated by the power transfer deal.
