Another protester shot dead in Yemen
Press TV – February 21, 2011
Forces loyal to Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s regime have shot dead a pro-democracy protester and injured another in the southern city of Aden.
The incident occurred on Sunday, the tenth day of consecutive protests, as police fired tear gas and bullets to disperse thousands of protesters demanding a change in leadership.
Security in Aden was stepped up on Sunday with tanks and armored vehicles out on main streets.
In the capital city of Sana’a, police fired shots at demonstrators.
Hasan Baoum, the leader of Yemen’s secessionist Southern Movement, was detained in an Aden hospital where he was receiving treatment, his son Fadi Hasan Baoum told Reuters.
Thousands of people have also staged sit-ins in the cities of Ibb and Taiz, demanding the ouster of the US-backed president, who has ruled the country for 33 years.
President Saleh, however, has said he will only step down after his term ends in 2013.
Earlier, Yemen’s parliamentary opposition said it is planning to join the street protests and have rejected a call by Saleh for dialog, slamming the government for using force against demonstrators.
Over a dozen protesters have been killed by the government loyalists across Yemen over the past few days.

Faith in fakes: How anti-Russian hysteria is driving the EU’s drone hoax
RT | September 1, 2026
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a well-timed ploy to ramp up defense spending? Germany’s evidence-free claim that a drone found lying between Ukrainian cargo planes on the canopy of Leipzig/Halle airport is part of a pattern.
Last year’s late-autumn drone sighting hysteria that swept across Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium, was used by the bloc to amplify and entrench an anti-Russia stance that has seen it throw hundreds of billions it cannot afford into weapons and a war its chosen side cannot win.
Tens of millions of Euro has since been spent on the back of a ‘scare’ that has been shown to have been irrational, exuberant and driven by vested interests.
The most bizarre national security scare in recent European history began at Copenhagen’s Kastrup Airport on September 2 last year. According to Denmark’s Frihedsbrevet news site, an airport employee told her supervisors that she saw two drones approach the area “stealthily,” adding that “they are big. They are not toys.”
The airport was temporarily shut down, and within hours, reports of a similar drone incursion came in from Oslo, Norway. […]
Not only is there no proof that Russia was connected with these sightings, there is no evidence that any drones were present at all. No wreckage has been recovered, no perpetrators have been identified, and no footage of the drones exists, except for the video from Copenhagen that apparently shows a light aircraft.
Despite being certain that Denmark was under “hybrid attack,” Mette Frederiksen acknowledged in late September that there could be an “alternate explanation” for the sightings. Six months later, six government sources told Denmark’s TV2 that they don’t “have any technical evidence to support that Denmark was subjected to a hybrid attack with drones.” Frihedsbrevet’s sources came to a similar conclusion, with the airport employee who reported the initial sighting admitting that she could have been mistaken. […]
Danish troops reportedly opened fire on a drone over Borris Camp on September 28. According to an investigation by TV2, the only aircraft operating in the area at the time was a turboprop passenger plane. The Danish military, if TV2’s reporting is correct, nearly shot down a civilian aircraft over a false alarm. … Read full article
