Good Job Ayatollahs! NOT!
So,
The Saudi's 3 days ago started referring to Saleh not in pejoratives, but instead, the "Former Prime Minister", so, just as Saleh cut a deal to betray Hadi and the Saudi's, he cut a deal to betray the Ansruallah Movement and side with the Saudi's.
Rumour is this was a Russian brokered deal, but that's unconfirmed.
Rumour is Hadi, who's under house arrest in Saudi Arabia, was going to become a nonperson.
Some rumours are, that Saleh was the UAE's "man".
Reality is Saleh betrayed the US in the GWOT, then the Saudi's, then Hadi, then the Ansruallah Movement.
What's really interesting, is the Yemeni Rocket Forces, who "were" loyal to Saleh, fired another modified Scud at the UAE yesterday,
And the Yemeni Army Republican Guard, neither fought the Houthi's in Sanna, nor pulled back forces from the Marib line to back Saleh.
It looks like Saleh's betrayal of the Ansruallah Movement cost him the support of most Yemeni's, including the Republican Guard and the Rocket Forces.
