The JMP cannot speak of a transitional council and the GCC in the same breath. It needs to pick one - and only one real option exists to stay political viable.James Gundunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141055666432969361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571201204115952544.post-40976142916018584012011-07-21T11:53:45.603-07:002011-07-21T11:53:45.603-07:00The JMP has already declared the GCC Initiative as...The JMP has already declared the GCC Initiative as "finished" and this was before the attack on Saleh, and right after the refusal to sign it. In fact the JMP has declared itself no longer a party to the Initiative. Any talk of the JMP still working around the framework of the Initiative indicates lack of steadfastness of position and another backtracking in its long list of series of backtracks in "stanidng behind the protesting youth of the peaceful revolution" as it originally declared in the beginning of the protests and when it declared the GCC Initiative as over and done with. This inconsistency of position of the JMP is a serious handicap that the peaceful revolution encompassing the overwehlming majority of Yemenis, one periodically sees in the protest gatherings (which are incredibly ignored by US officials at the top echelons of the Obama Administration, and even by US Congressmen and women), most of who are not even members of any of the JMP factions. The majority of protesters are represented by various independent groupings, which have a permanent or semi permanent presence in at least one or more of the of the protest squares, with liaison carried out by a cobweb of coordinating councils. The JMP is turning out to be a tool used by the regime and both its US and Saudi sponsors and backers. They should never be allowed to take the limelight from the real protesters in Yemen - the grass roots of the masses in the Yemeni population, who are incidentally just as fed up with the uncalled for and careless cheap manuevering by the JMP.Hassan (Yemen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04796259413827250012noreply@blogger.com
