Concerns of a civil war are increasing in Yemen while youth protesters continue asking themselves why the Yemeni revolution is taking more than 100 days. Numerous reasons stand behind the delay most Yemenis await.
The opposition is partly blamed for this delay as they turned the Yemeni revolution into a political crisis, leaving millions in Yemen's change squares shocked and lost.
International powers have not helped in solving the crises as they continue keeping their stance unclear. Saleh has used the international stall for his favor as it had given him more time to reshuffle his political cards.
Saleh has almost assured himself that his ruling General People Congress party, GPC, will continue being a force in the future of Yemeni politics. However, nothing he has does can save him from the wrath of the millions and the blood that was spilt.
The GCC proposal has been changed four times since it was introduced last month, while the GCC general secretary has been to Yemen five times since then. The continuous visits by the gulf leader shows the difficulty of negotiations, and a clear sign that no one wants to be involved in Yemen's dirty political game, but are forced to be in this situation.
With every day that passes more weapons are being distributed and Saleh will be accountable for every drop of Yemeni blood. Tribes have been called to enter Sana’a and prepare themselves for the worst. At least 13 soldiers have been killed by unknown gunmen over a two day span this week. More than 35 protesters were attacked in the streets this week by other civilians only because they differed in opinion. Speeches of both the ruling party and the opposition are calling for war in the already war torn country. Fears of al-Qaeda using this time to expand to more regions in the country are growing. All the above are because Saleh wants to die as president.
Greed is the only explanation at why Saleh still wants to be in power after 33 years of being Yemen's president.
