SANA'A: At a Cabinet meeting this Saturday, President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi reiterated his intentions to stay the course of the reforms and direct Yemen onto the road to economic, social and institutional recovery by ridding the nation of corruption and holding ministers to their duties. “We have to open a new chapter in our lives, setting our eyes on the future and putting the past behind us,” Hadi said. “It's no secret that enormous challenges currently face the Government of National Reconciliation. We have to combat corruption that has long been impeding development in the country,” he added. Despite those comforting words, anger is slowly rising back to the surface with more violence being reported as days pass by. With protesters and defected troops still waiting for the restructuration of the armed forces, many are losing patience, worrying that the specter of President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime will resurface through his son, Ahmed Ali Saleh and his nephew Yehia Mohamed Saleh, as they are rumored to be keeping their position at leaders of respectively the Republican Guards and the Central Security Forces, with America seeking to preserve its anti-terror network. More troubling, warring factions are now using terror tactics to promote their political goals, spreading fear through the civilian population with many expecting the situation to revert to an open armed conflict. “By not swiftly ridding Yemen from the regime's old figures, President Hadi is maintaining a sentiment of uncertainty, allowing opposing factions to spread chaos as they try to bank on Yemen's insecurity to further their ambitions. Only through a decisive policy will the government stir the nation away from war. Hadi needs also to address foreign meddling as our political interest might not match theirs,” said a Ahmed al-Soufi a political analyst.
