BRITTISH TRAINED(BACKED)YEMENI SECURITY FORCES KILL PROTESTERS
Yemeni security forces(BRITTISH BACKED AND TRAINED) fired at protesters on Thursday, killing at least four and wounding several others. The protesters were calling for Southern independence and were holding a counter-protest to the many supporters that had gathered to celebrate the anniversary of President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi‘s election. Meanwhile, former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh who was ousted by protesters in 2011,opened a museum dedicated to himself. “Those who want to reminisce about three decades of authoritarianism will soon be able to visit the museum, whose main entrance is fronted by an enormous portrait of the man himself,” reports The Independent. The museum will include Saleh’s glasses, prayer rug and the now-charred pair of pants he was wearing during a 2011 assassination attempt, among other items. Saleh toured the recently-completed museum and praised its “class and elegance.”
