Officers and soldiers of the Air Forces have threatened to resume their sit-in before the residency of President Abdu-Rabo Mansour Hadi if his promises of dismissing their commander, Mohammad Saleh Al-Ahmar, are not fulfilled before the coming Thursday.
A spokesman of the soldiers said they gave Hadi two weeks as an ultimatum to meet their demands, pointing out that they will stage further events and use other forms of pressures in case their demands are further ignored.
Media sources cited that Al-Ahmar who is a half-brother of the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh refuses to hand over the command of the Air forces after he had conditioned to end sit-ins demanding to fire him.
The protesters say that more than 70 percent of Air Force soldiers, officers and pilots in Sana’a and other governorates are still on strike.
Major General Abdul-Ghani Bin-Awdal cautioned against disregard of their demands, stressing that they will massively go to change squares.
Media sources said that Hadi will imminently hold a meeting with representatives of the protesters to review the dismissal of Al-Ahmar.
Officers and troops of the Air forces Air complained that Al-Ahmar used to confiscate all their rights, and fail to keep his promises for which he pledged to grant them promotion and allowances.
