The big news out of Yemen concerning anti-Government activities is the action of Hussein al-Ahmar in support of anti-Government protesters. Hussein was the deputy speaker of parliament and an active member of the ruling party. Many have said that Hussein's actions are for his own interests and not for the people of Yemen.
He may have been prompted by recent crazy business from government security and intelligence agencies to assassinate Hamid, and had carried out surveilance on al-Ahmar houses in Sana'a for weak points for possible attack. There was some talk around of bombs to be delivered to these houses.
The amusing thing to note is that there were thousands at the rally in Amran governate where Hussein addressed the people in support of anti-government demonstrations and change. Tribe people are notoriously easy to buy and change sides to where the greatest benefit is. Perhaps al-Ahmar sees an opportunity to steer history of Yemen as their father the late Shaikh Abdullah Al-Ahmar did.
No big statements from AQAP on latest events in Yemen.
