A massive massive demonstration was staged on Thursday in Yemen's capital Sanaa to bless the decress issued last night by President Abdrabu Mansour Hadi to restructure the armed forces.
The decrees shaped the main structure of the Yemeni armed forces and have been described just as the right decision on the right time to put an end to the more-than-a-year division of the army.
Hadi fired key military and security chiefs including the elder son of the former president Ahmed Saleh who was the commander of the elite republican guard.
The demonstrators walked on many streets to the residence of president Hadi where they chanted slogans and carried placards welcoming the restructuring decrees.
The bell rings, no to Ahmed no to the republican guard; oh Hadi walk, we follow your path toward change, they chanted.
Hadi's decrees have been blessed domestically and externally, especially the countries sponsoring the power-transfer deal which was reached after the 2011 unrest.
Observers said the timing of the restructuring indicated they were issued to convince the Yemeni factions demanding it ahead of dialogue.
Analysts also s said the decrees to restructure the Yemeni forces comes to resist the plots of loyalists of the former president to obstruct the political transition.
