Tonight on Mosaic: UN envoy warns Yemeni state could collapse

Yemen: Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Qirb is holding talks with European officials to discuss the developments in Yemen. At the end of his mission in Sanaa, the UN secretary-general's envoy to Yemen, Jamal al-Omar, warned of the country's collapse and the severity of the security situation and living conditions in the country. Al-Omar stated that he will submit a report on the Yemeni crisis to the UN Security Council.

 

Bahrain: A number of regions witnessed night demonstrations denouncing the regime's crackdown and arrest campaign targeting protestors. Bahrain's opposition, headed by al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, confirmed that it has conclusive evidence of 50 different kinds of "shameful violations" committed by the regime that will be presented to a fact-finding commission.

Syria: The new draft law which allows a multi-party system in Syria has failed to mollify protestors demanding reform in the country. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that night protests were held in Hama, Rif Dimashq, Homs, Deir az-Zour, Idlib and Latakia. The organization reported that three people, including one woman, were killed by the security forces' gunfire in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the government's arrest campaign continues in a number of regions. The US State Department described the Syrian army's manner of dealing with the protestors as "barbaric."
