God, the authorities are such neanderthals! The only language they know is force, yet the idea that simply shooting a lot of people isn't going to stabilize the political environment seems lost on them.

Ya exactly if it has any influence, it makes the protesters more determent.

From what I've read about the situation, the regime is facing a really tough time. Not only do they have Shia (such as the Houthis) to worry about, but they also have Sunni extremists (Al-Qaeda has had a major presence in Yemen for a while), and Sunni seperatists to the south. This combined with declining reserves and a population of about 25 million makes the situation there very volatile. I guess that a bunch of MP's have resigned from the ruling party, too. Even if the government decides to try and shoot down these largely peaceful protests, it's probably just going to blow up in their face later on with an even more resilent opposition movement.
"Win, lose or draw...long as you squabble and you get down, that's gangsta."
Well...they just have invited more trouble now.
An entire army division has defected to the protesters on orders of its commander. It has joined the protests and is protecting the protesters.
Several ministers have resigned their posts after violence escalted in the last couple of days.

Hameed al-Qusaibi, a brigadier who stepped down earlier today, speaks to Al Jazeera:
I respect the president because he did a lot of good things for the country - but he also brought a lot of problems.
My role is to support the protesters and we should try to get the president to turn over his powers peacefully - we do not want our country to turn into a second Libya.
There is a danger that it will turn violent because he has some support.
