Demonstrations in Yemen

As we all know there are many demonstrations going on in the Near East and North Africa, we all know about Libya as it is all over the news but also in Yemen protestors are demonstrating against their government. 

In February a large Demonstration took place in Aden, Security forces used machine guns and assault rifles against the people and killed at least nine people, possible as many as double and injured at least 150 including children.

How can someone fire a weapon on children who are not even responsible for beeing there at all?

  1. I know its not quite right to generalise across national boundaries but some of the "pro-Gadaffi" soldiers who have been captured/killed by the rebels have been found with wads of thousands of pounds worth of currency in their pockets.

    I suppose desperation and perhaps poverty can lead a man to do terrible things.

  2. I think that many of the pro-Gadaffi soldiers are on his site just out of fear or like you said because of money. I don't believe that many of them genuinly believe in him

    thats why he rather pay african soldiers from abroad as trusting on his own people.

  3. It's actually been proven that he pays for the mercenaries, then a part of his "army" is paid. But is also quite certain that the largest portion of the rest only with because of fear of what will happen to them and their family if they would not be his soldier
