Yemeni President is ‘Recovering’

There was joy in the streets of Yemen Monday as citizens celebrated the flight to Saudi Arabia of President Ali Abdullah Saleh after he was injured in an attack. According to the BBC, Saleh is “recovering” in Saudi Arabia, which will reportedly not allow him to return to Yemen. He underwent two successful operations on his chest and neck on Sunday. Violence, however, quickly returned: With a power vacuum opening up, opposition groups took to the streets with arms and clashed with security forces, leaving at least six people dead.
