The two months of nationwide demonstrations in yemen continues to grow, over 80 killed and some 350 were wounded in the capital of Sanaa. In recent years, the United States has provided hundreds of millions of dollars in military and security aid to Yemen.
“The Obama administration has really escalated the covert war inside of Yemen and has dramatically increased the funding to Yemen’s military, particularly its elite counterterrorism unit, which is trained by U.S. Special Operations Forces," says Democracy Now! correspondent and independent journalist Jeremy Scahill. "It could get much worse if Ali Abdullah Saleh decides to unleash the U.S.-trained counterterrorist units on his own population."
