Saleh Immunity
President Saleh has been granted immunity by the Yemeni Parliament. I am disgusted but not surprised as I do agree with the Prime Minister that the Yemeni people must tackle the main problems of their day: Gender inequalities, illiteracy, economy, terrorism, and sectarian violence just to name a few.
Ultimately the history books will judge the times of today and without a doubt Yemen will forever prosper. I have no doubt that Saleh will face the courts for the crimes he committed against his people. For I believe that governments have no right to kill their own people no matter what their specific reasoning should be. A government that murders its own people no longer has the right to govern and should take full responsibility for every blood lost in its atrocities against its own people. The Pro Saleh Yemeni government should be dismantled in all its entirety and it will soon need to be punished as well! I pray that the Almighty keep those who lost loved ones strong and patient for a better tomorrow. Now with that been said I do believe the Yemeni people must tackle the main problems of their day: Gender inequalities, illiteracy, economy, terrorism, and sectarian violence just to name a few.
It is a waste to just sit around and complain while so much is at stake. It is that fundamental human belief that tyranny will never prevail so as long as hope is alive. And I have hope that justice will be served now or later.
The Yemeni people have endured a dictator that has killed thousands during his rule. Domestic war after domestic war was declared for every year he ruled Yemen. And without a doubt justice must be served. But that does not give any excuse for anyone to retaliate with violence. This is wrong and distasteful. I do believe that the International Courts will step in at some point and until then, the Yemeni care taker government must begin to tackle the issues and wrongs in the daily lives of the Yemeni people. Yemen is at a pivotal position right now. It is up to the care taker government to establish normality in the Yemeni way of life. The Yemen is a beautiful nation and so much needs to be done post Saleh. To choose to ignore the fact that rightful decisions need to be made is an abomination to the martyrs of the revolution.
