Officials from the United Nations and the Gulf Cooperation Council were in Sanaa, Yemen, on Monday, hoping to help organize a peaceful transfer of power as witnesses reported violence in the streets.

On Sunday, at least 26 protesters were killed and more than 550 were wounded — hundreds of them by gunshots — when security forces fired live bullets and tear gas at a massive demonstration in the city, a medic said.

  1. What to do about this? Thinking that UN should decides this matter as soon, war as the saying goes is really s**** women and children dies. UN should steps in already for their peaceful transition of power and rehabilitation.

  2. Yes, I don’t understand why America/ ‘The Bilderberger’ have not started air-strikes yet ??

  3. NATO jets have carried out more than 18,533 sorties, including at least 7,037 strike sorties since the alliance took command of the Libya mission on March 31, according to a Reuters report on Thursday.

    So I wonder how long before the UN mount pressure on NATO. Oh wait. NATO’s killing of over a thousand civilians since March doesn’t count b/c it’s a humanitarian kinetic action.
