11:13 pm
yemen humvees 1st official visit was to the saudi capital riyadh aiming to maintain good relations yet reduce dependence on saudi arabia who wield it considerable influence over yemen's powerful times. as the incoming president our humvee was walking a tightrope his instinct as a modernizer was to bring the reins of power into the capital but that meant wrestling control from the tribes who had traditionally run yemen. one of. those to create modern armed force that would not be organized tribally would be composed of units that were mixed personnel that would therefore be loyal to the chain of command rather than the particular chefs to hear. about you know build up a. very accurate account. will be and i'll get

11:16 pm
that he wanted to see in the country that it was necessary to strengthen government institutions and i think his vision was to build upon the success of these local cooperative associations he was certainly the 1st one direct for us a vision of using the cooperatives as a national organization and a way build up a national political base. from the cooperative. i read of that. remember. i said i'm learning. how to tie when i live in a problem with. that america in an ad that interactive that's in alaska where that is the route a little high at a paragraph. in raw help. well up to michelle and i were bad but i had to shabby a benefit imagine that with a president in my ear during

11:22 pm
role. yemen has always been complex has always been complicated the saudi is did not like. in the end toward the end they saw him as independent of them of course they saw him as perhaps threatening. because the able to consolidate the country behind him a very difficult thing to do in yemen and he also had particular international efforts to try and run the relationship with the south yemen and now the saudis would be very. anxious if there were any moves to unify the country or did i meet and the hope could leave that about me much for a dollar a lot of money and any of that when i'm not sure at which death and yemenia crema

asked any in the house and i've got it so who are they and then thought i put them through them took them who had no and i have asked that it come of a flower she did know so well i wasn't i thought i was lucky that's all the best i like best yet i sat and i ask that he get me that a lot of you are thinking of a mile and well i think that the saudis decided to get rid of the simply because they saw him as getting too strong and. undercutting their influence in yemen. able to counter their traditional way of dealing with tribes. 2 weeks after the murder saudi arabia issued an official statement categorically denying any involvement in the hundreds assassination. the denial came after claims within yemen including by a number of foreign diplomats that individual saudis may have been involved in the
11:46 pm
assassination albeit in directly. their suspicion was that those who benefited most from the crime had links to saudi arabia. the widespread view but i heard from yemeni contacts friends in private of course was that these assassinate this hassidim hamdi was. it was a saudi run operation using yemenis who were in there pay more. people the dog would do their beckoning among those was crushed me and certainly only dull sala of the summer as the current title is. no one was ever charged with the murder neither al-hashmi nor sana ever had met at any point in the death of all

mission in yemen who arrived in sanaa 2 months after the murder of a humvee he diplomatic cables from the time have been released others remain under lock and key the reasons why the government might not declassify which is that is the word to make it public would be perhaps there are intelligence sources there are quotes or connections with individuals who are still alive who might be compromised by what's in the message could be american intelligence people because the yemeni political figures that would be one reason why you might not do it the 2nd might be that there is something in the message which would undermine our relationship it was with another country. another cable this time declassified from british diplomats in saudi arabia in 1977 sheds further details on the denial of saudi involvement it was in response to news agency reports in the region and to
