PREDECESSOR:
Yemen's
economy is down, and nearly a third of
it's workforce is jobless. Due to the
economy, President Saleh's government
ended subsidies on flour and wheat and
increased fuel prices by at least 40
percent. These actions provoked
demonstrations in the cities, and
violence in the tribal-dominated
countryside.
At
this point, (7-29-98) not many details
are available. though government troops
and helicopter gunships have been sent
into the mountainous countryside to
crush the unrest. On July 21, gunmen
ambushed a convoy containing the
Interior Minister and other officials,
causing several casualties including a
provincial governor who suffered
gunshot wounds.
According
to the Associated Press and the Yemen
Times newspaper, casualties include 52
dead and 214 wounded.
None
discerned at this time.
