Yemeni journalist: It is a shame that the "Mossad" declares the death of “Saleh" and a disgrace for the Kingdom to keep quiet about it
Islam Times: Al-Yousufi, considered one of the most prominent and senior journalists in Yemen, who has a deep relationship with Saleh’s regime said in an exclusive statement for "Islam Times": "It is of most shame that the Israeli Intelligence Agency declares Saleh’s death last Monday and an embarrassing disgrace that Saudi Arabia, which hosts the Two Holy Mosques being birthplace of The Message, to hush the information."

Al-Yousufi, who resigned from his presidential editor-in-chief position of the Republic’s official newspaper, explained after what became known as the massacre of the "Friday of Dignity" that occurred on the 18th of March 2011 leaving more than 57 people dead and hundreds wounded, "that the Yemeni revolution led by the Yemeni youth does not appeal to the Saudi regime led by the Yemeni youth since Saudi Arabia basically rejects the Yemeni revolution as a whole, and Saudi Arabia stood against the former Yemeni revolution, which started in September 1962, with all its capabilities in support of the royalists bringing in Zionist experts to carry out the war alongside the royalists at the time.” The most prominent of those Zionist figures back then was "Bob Dinar" who fought alongside the royalists while having the Saudi financial support.

He also noted: "that Saudi Arabia is seeking to pre-empt the Yemeni revolution with all its capabilities and is working to convert it from a revolution to a political crisis by issuing initiatives because they believe that the Yemeni revolution will spread like a virus to their territory. So, Saudi Arabia will work on initiating an outbreak of civil war in Yemen in order for Yemen to be set as an example in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia will try to transform Yemen to a bloody massacre for it to become a real lesson for the people of Saudi Arabia so that they do not even think of doing any revolution in the future. "

He added: "Do not forget that the geographical situation of Yemen makes it imperative for the Kingdom to keep Yemen under its tutelage since Yemen occupies an important strategic position as there is the coast that extends to approximately 2500 kilometers and controls the “Bab Al-Mandib” Strait through which millions of barrels of oil pass per day, hence the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has taken over the Yemeni “folder” years ago.”
He continued by saying: "Saudi Arabia offers financial support to approximately 36,000 people of the Yemeni tribes and the estimated beneficiaries of that support is about one million nine hundred thousand (1,900,000) people making those people under the Saudi control."

He added: "Saudi Arabia is studying various setups to contain Yemen's revolution and transform it into a political crisis in the country, so they sought to make the Gulf initiative a successful one and when Saleh rejected it, thus weakening the Gulf regimes, the massacre on the presidential resident in the first Friday of Rajab took place, and the Rajab Friday became important for the Yemenis as the day that targeted Saleh and closed the cutrain on his 33-year-old rule."

He argued that "There is a silence imposed by the Kingdom on the life status of "Saleh" and Yemeni officials, but why has not one of those officials, whom they say that their condition has improved, for instance issued a statement telling the people that they are safe. However it seems that this deafening silence explains that the Kingdom has been able to put them in “eternal silence refrigerator” until the Saudi initiative on the happenings in Yemen is mature."
