YEMEN - Saleh President sacks his government

Faced with the resignations cascade, Ali Abdullah Saleh has sacked his government on March 20. The ministers of Awqaf, Tourism and Human Rights had previously resigned with other members of the government to denounce the violence with which the manifestation of Sana'a, March 18, had been suppressed. The opposition says the security forces perpetrated a "massacre," killing 52 people and wounding 600 others.

In power for thirty-two, Saleh appears increasingly isolated.
