Yemeni President: OK, I changed my mind
Hossam el-Hamalawy
Ali Abdullah Saleh, who's been ruling Yemen since 1978, is to run for a new presidency term, despite his earlier promise not to.
I read somewhere last year about anti-Saleh statements circulating Sana'a, signed by a Yemeni Kefaya. Does anyone have info on that?

In regard to kefaya in Yemen there is not much to it at this point.
There is a brief online statement at www.kefayayemen.com
A kefaya-inspired "group" (though I know of only one member) named irhalo or irhalou or sometimes erhalo (get out) was started in May 2005 by Abd al-Rahin Muhsin, a leftist opposition writer and journalist who once worked in the presidential office and has been in and out of jail on trumped up charges over the past few years. No website that I know of.
Thanks Michaelle.
