Dozens dead in Yemen fuel riots
BBC
Friday, July 22, 2005
The riots broke out across the country on Wednesday At
least 36 people have been killed in two days of violent
clashes between protesters and police across Yemen,
police and witnesses say.
Tanks have been deployed on the streets of the capital,
Saana.
Deaths were also reported in a string of other towns. The
unrest began after fuel subsidies were lifted on Tuesday,
leading to dramatic price rises.
The government says it needs to reduce the budget
deficit, but opponents say the rises hit poor people the
hardest.
Stone throwing
Some eight demonstrators were killed on Thursday in the
coastal city of Hudaydah, and two others were killed in
the port of Aden, police officials told the Associated
Press news agency.
In the northern city of Saada, at least two people were
killed, reportedly members of the security forces. And
there were reports that at least one person had been
killed in clashes in Sanaa.
Other affected places included Marib, Dali, Taaz and
Dhamar, police and medical officials told AP.
On Wednesday, clashes between rioters and security forces
killed 13 people, including a 12-year-old child. They
were killed as marchers took to the streets, attacking
government buildings and throwing stones at police.
Reforms
Prime Minister Abdul Qadir Bajammal has appealed for calm
and called on people to "differentiate between freedom of
expression and freedom of destruction".
Police are guarding official and government buildings
Yemen is one the poorest countries in the Arab world, and
the government is implementing harsh economic reforms to
address its heavy debts.
By lifting subsidies on fuel, the government has
virtually doubled the price of petrol and significantly
increased the price of diesel.
It says the rises will be offset by lower taxes and
increased wages, but opposition parties say the move hits
the poor, and are calling for a crackdown on corruption
by officials.

The truth about Islam and Muslims
http://www.flex.com/~jai/satyamevajayate
The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.
