Yemen’s U.S. Backed Government & President Resign
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 22 Jan 2015 zerohedge.com
In the short space of an hour – following weeks of battles and a recent standoff in Sana’a with Houthi rebels – all the well-laid plans of the US manipulators has gone astray:
- *YEMEN GOVERNMENT RESIGNS, PRIME MINISTER PRESENTS RESIGNATION TO PRESIDENT AMID REBEL STANDOFF
- *YEMEN PRESIDENT HADI HAS RESIGNED, AIDE SAYS
This comes after signing a short-term peace deal following an admission that they had lost control. And with oil-prices plunging once again, which means social instability
in the middle east is about to explode making the Arab spring of 2011
seem like child’s play by comparison, things around the globe are about
to take a dramatic turn for the worse.
As Xinhua reports,
Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah presented resignation to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi on Thursday night, government spokesman Rajeh Badi told Xinhua, one day after the government and Shiite Houthi group signed a peace deal to end a three-day political crisis.
“The prime minister and his government will not withdraw their decision under any circumstance,” Badi said, expressing the apology on behalf of Bahah to the Yemeni people.
Bahah, born in 1965 in Yemen’s southeastern province of Hadramout, was named as the premier on Oct. 13, 2014. He served as oil minister from March to June in 2014. He was replaced due to protests triggered by shortage of fuel and electricity, and was later named as envoy to the UN.
The government signed on Wednesday a peace deal with the Houthi group which seized the presidential palace during clashes with presidential guards since Monday.

Libya’s OPEC Governor Kidnapped
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-2918723/Libyan-OPEC-representative-missing-Tripoli.html
20 January 2015
“A Libyan senior oil official who represents his country in the OPEC cartel is believed to have been abducted in the militia-held capital Tripoli, a company official said Tuesday.
Samir Salim Kamal, an engineer with the National Oil Company who is also Libya’s governor for OPEC, has not been seen since Thursday when he left the company’s offices.
“His friends last saw him on Thursday afternoon as he left the NOC headquarters” in central Tripoli, an official at the company, who did not want to be named, told AFP.
Nobody has claimed responsibility for his apparent abduction and the family of the engineer has received no news about him since his disappearance, the official said.
Libya is one of 12 members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), whose current secretary general Abdullah El-Badri is Libyan.
Kidnappings are common in Libya, which has been sliding deeper into chaos since the 2011 overthrow of longtime leader Moamer Kadhafi, with rival governments and powerful militias battling for territory.
The internationally recognised government and elected parliament decamped last year to the country’s far east after the Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) militia alliance seized Tripoli and set up its own administration.
Oil is Libya’s main natural resource, with a pre-revolt output capacity of about 1.6 million barrels per day, accounting for more than 95 percent of exports and 75 percent of the budget.”
