Revolution of South Yemen .. Aden 21/ 05/ 2009 .. Peaceful protests

After a fast union in 1990, the dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh (President of North Yemen) launched, in 27 of april 1994, a comprehensive war on South Yemen, using land, marine and air forces as well as rockets and tribal militias. The regime in Sana'a was determined to impose unity by force and war ignoring calls from countries over the world and Security Council decisions Nos. 924 and 931 calling for immediate stop of the war, and rejecting imposed unity, and in spite of the fact that the US considered Aden as a Red Line. Ever since, the South has been under the North occupation.

Since the 1994 war, the people of the South have used all peaceful means to restore their state.

On 7 July, 2007, the thirteenth anniversary of the occupation of the South, the peaceful South revolution started to gain more popular support through the civil organizations of the South. Peaceful popular demonstrations started to take place in all cities and town of the South, calling for self-determination and restoration of the state of the South as it was prior to 1990.

The military regime in Sana'a replied by using force and live ammunition to encounter these peaceful demonstrations and strikes: the heavily armed military forces is deploying in all towns and cities of the South; hundreds of people are arrested, and many are martyred and injured.
These peaceful demonstrations still resisting the military apparatus and asking the world for help !!

@zammy5 Because they thought that the government in South would rule the new unified Yemen, because most of Yemen was controlled by the democratic communist government in South, and the people in the repressed Islamist North was waiting for freedom, communism, and secularism.

the yemeny goverment in north discriminates the yemenis in south, they think they are better than south yemenis, and they treat the south yemenis as animals. so no wonder they want their own country for them self
