- Monday, March 28, 2011, 7:54 AM President Saleh backs off a deal to leave office, calling Yemen a "time bomb" that could quickly devolve into civil war. Multiple bomb blasts at a weapons factory that may have been taken over by militants look to have killed at least 40 people. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 25, 2011, 8:29 AM Negotiations for Yemeni President Saleh's departure from office hit a snag over the fate of his relatives, several of whom lead anti-terrorism units considered vitally important by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, the capital's streets are filled with a volatile mix of protesters and a divided military. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 24, 2011, 4:21 PM With the situation "deteriorating," the military says airstrikes have failed to loosen Gaddafi's siege of Misrata. The city faces a humanitarian emergency as loyalist forces cut off water, electricity, food, and medical supplies, take control of hospitals, and position snipers throughout the town. 7 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 24, 2011, 3:01 PM Yemen President Saleh is negotiating with the recently defected top military leader, Gen. Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, on a plan for both to resign within days, and power to be transferred to a civilian-led transitional government. Both men are intent on stopping any further bloodshed. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 24, 2011, 9:46 AM The risk of a Yemeni civil war grows as a divided military clashes with each other and the UAE seizes a shipment of 16K guns bound for the country. President Saleh's offer to step down by the end of the year is "too little, too late," says an analyst. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, March 24, 2011, 9:22 AM Plans continue for tomorrow's "Dignity Friday" marches across Syria as 20K join the funeral of 9 protesters killed yesterday in Darra. A local hospital puts the number shot by security forces at a minimum of 25. "They all had bullet holes," says a hospital official. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 2:21 PM Syrian security personnel come down hard on protesters in the southern town of Darra, killing at least 15 over the past day. Activists are calling for massive protests across the country on Friday, a day to be called "Dignity Friday." 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 12:00 PM A small concession to protesters, Saudi Arabia announces rare municipal elections to be held beginning in April. The last such elections occurred in 2005. Another set was scheduled for 2009, but was indefinitely put on hold until now. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 10:41 AM A poor country with just a trickle of oil, and nearly every citizen armed, trouble is coming to Yemen no matter what writes Victoria Clark. The U.S. should end its cynical embrace of President Saleh, and instead try to assure the success of the revolution there - even if it means re-splitting the country in two. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 7:53 AM Despite the defections of dozens of legislators from the President's ruling party, the Yemen Parliament votes to endorse Saleh's declaration of a 30 day state of emergency. President Saleh is sticking with his latest commitment to leave office at the end of the year, following elections. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 5:24 PM Concerned about Yemen devolving into another Libya, Saudi Arabia calls for President Saleh's exit. Saudi Arabia considers the possible emergence of al-Qaeda in Yemen as its chief security threat, and wants a quick transition to a new power able to keep the terrorist group in check. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 4:54 PM The Transitional National Council announces the formation of the “Libyan Oil Company as supervisory authority" on oil policy. The Council also designates the Central Bank of Benghazi as the country's monetary authority. No word yet on cutting rates or QE. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 4:36 PM Gaining another 2.9% today, oil is back near its pre-quake highs of early March. Steve Levine reports that Yemen, a minor producer of crude, may still influence the price because its porous northern border with Saudi Arabia could allow a flood of (armed) refugees into the Kingdom. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 4:19 PM Loyalist forces may have been prevented from entering, but inside Benghazi, a battle between reformers, aggressive youth, and Gaddafi supporters is getting ugly and could derail the revolution from within. Could Gaddafi retake Benghazi without firing a shot? Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 2:06 PM Wary of being bogged down in another war, President Obama plans to quickly hand leadership over Libyan military action to NATO. The AP reports France calling for a special steering committee to oversee the operation ... sounds like a recipe for success. 26 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 7:33 AM Following yesterday's defection of several military commanders, Yemen President Saleh reverses his earlier stance and offers to step down by the end of the year. Warning of the consequences of a coup, Saleh vows not to turn power over to the military. Comment! [Global & FX]
