Kevin Ramos US/VA Pd3 The Yemen Revolution
Yemen is west of Oman, North of the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian sea, east of the Red sea, and south of Saudia Arabia. Location & Map
TheLeader President Ali Abdullah Salehisthefirst leader of Yeman (eventhough he didnoteven complete elementaryschool. And After 32 years of beingpresident), a hugeupriseing of protestershavebeendemandingfor a new leader since he has notchangedtheGovernmentmuch as beforehisleadership. • These are hislastyearsofpresidency, he willnotseektobereelected in 2013 • He is 68 yearsold, bornonmarch 21, 1942, in the town of Cameno. A Corrupt Regime
Because there has beenlittlechange in thepast 32 years, the country isstillverypoor, in theArabianpeninsula, there are veryfewbeggars, butthere are many in yeman. • Theswarm cars at intersectionsand scramble at resturantstogrableftoversbeforethewaiters can pick up theplates. • "If you're a young Yemeni, you don't have any reason for hope," says Nadia al-Sakkaf, editor of the English-language Yemen Times. • 74% of the population is under 30 years old, if you are older than it then you are most likely ready to die. Depression And Unemployment
Abdel-Hadial-Azaziis one of the several protest leaders, the biggest act of protest has been on June Saleh was injured in an RPG attack on his presidential compound, which killed four body guards and injured the prime minister, deputy prime minister, and the governor of Sanaa. • Saleh, was burned and left the country for treatment. • Civilians are in hiding in the Yemeni capital as protesters and government forces struggle for control on the streets of Sanaa.“We can't leave our houses to get food for our children. As soon as we walk on the street we are shot,” says Ramial-Shaibani, a Sanaa resident. Protesters
The Yemeni weretired of a longterm leader that has done nothingforthem, and with a tyrant leader that has beenabuseinghumanrights and beencorrupt, there has beenprotestersthathavediedbecause of thetyrantleadersorders, eventhoughthereintentionwerepeaceful • Justlike in the American Revolution, theking of Britainwas a tyrantthatdidnotcareaboutthecolonist and abusedhispowersonthem and killedmanyprotesters, eventhoughthereintentionwerepeaceful SimalaritesToTheRevolutionarywar
Thedifferences are thatcolonistwasbeingruledby a king, whichcouldnotbeoverruled. And he was in a different country, whilethecolonistbroke free theyformed a new country bybreaking free frombeing Great Britain’sterritory. • While in Yemen, theyhave a presidentwhich can beoverruled(which he willnotrunforthe 2013 election), alsothey are in thesame country and willnothavetomake a new country with a new government, justperfectit. DifferencesToTheRevolutionaryWar
I feel that the Yemeni will be excited for a new president. But I know that the country will not get better with just a snap of his/her fingers. I feel that it will take a very long time and with more than one ruler. I also believe that the yemen president will not be a life long ruler, but a lot shorter. • Finally I believe that the Yemeni will be very scared for there next step, and it will be a very important one, they will need help by looking into the history of past great empires and dynasties and rulers.
