possibility of some extra craziness today, apparently the protestors are bringing the bodies past the presidents house on 60m street today.

there are all kind of tanks and soldiers lined up outside it. If it kicks off today it could be the rapid end to it all.

I am still in Sana'a, in the Haddah area. All quiet here at the moment but I guess this week I am going to see if I need to leave or not.

Apparently, it's already getting a bit dicey and flights were full of escapees yesterday. Is there anyway you can get out early and then go back if it improves?

Waiting for the US and EU to take decisive action in Yemen and Bahrain, if not military then freezing funds and restriction on the ruling elite ...crickets...
