Yemen
The women of Yemen are marching now may make a great rhyme, but their march is not poetry at all. Thousands of Yemen women gathered today in from of the Yemen's foreign ministry capital, Sanaa demanding that the U.N. give intervention of ongoing unrest in the Persion Gulf Nation. The protest was promted after a Yemen women was shot and killed in a peaceful demonstration aimed against the government. The women activists are calling for sanctions in which President Ali Abdullan Saleh will offer control against snipers firing upon them in their peaceful marches. Sources indicated that snipers were on the rooftops at the foreign ministry on Sunday and that still on Monday gunfire was fired early in the Change Square where at least four more people were slain, and 26 persons injured. Continued firing on demonstrators today according to reports that an additional 5 more dead and 54 others suffered injury. From a separte demonstration in the city of Taiz, another woman was killed with a headwound by a government sniper. One of the activists, Ataif Alwazir called the shooting of a woman " a sign that the government forces will not really stop shooting, even if they are women." She told CNN that "Women may have been beaten, arrested at time--but never directly shot at and this is a scary escalation." The government claims that it is trying to come up with a solution to end the political stalemate.
"Seriously, to end any killing is to put away the firepower."
One watches on High.
