The Pentagon calls start "as soon as possible" a negotiated transition in Yemen

Washington. (Reuters) .- The Pentagon has asked to undertake "as soon as possible" a negotiated transition in Yemen, but so far has not reduced the crucial military aid offered by the Yemeni government, as reported by the U.S. military. "Obviously the situation now is difficult. The more they fester, will become more complicated," admitted the Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell.

For this reason urges Washington to start negotiations soon, but gave no further details Morrell. Other anonymous sources and U.S. officials reveal that the objective is an agreement between the Yemeni government and the opposition, resulting in the progress of the current president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

More than a hundred people have died in demonstrations reformers. Morrell denied that there has been a reduction of Salé commitment for confronting the threat from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and remember who is the president who still maintains control over the military. "So we continue to evaluate what makes sense for us in terms of support for the Yemeni government," said the spokesman, who said they are "closely monitoring the situation."
