Zahi Hawass the 63 year old Egyptian archaeologist who is Egypt’s Minister of Antiquities and accused of having a domineering personality who excessively courts personal media attention, has denounced the thieves who broke into the Egyptian Museum during the civil unrest that saw the overthrow of the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Hawass stated that “My heart is broken and my blood is boiling” on the discovery that 13 cases had been destroyed and 70 objects broken including two sculptures of Tutankhamen.  There are at least another 17 artifacts missing along with jewelry stolen from the museum gift shop. Following the break in to the museum, the army along with concerned citizens formed a security barrier to protect the museum from further damage and thefts.

Ali Abdullah Saleh the 64 year old war monger President for 32 years of the Republic of Yemen Held the position for half his life time (February 4 2011)

Ali Abdullah Saleh the 64 year old war monger President for 32 years of the Republic of Yemen and its former identities, having held the position for half his life time has announced that he will not seek reelection in 2013. Saleh’s long-term rule over the country was challenged with recent protests, and further strained as the Tunisia regime fell, and now with the likely fall of the long term Egyptian president. Yemin a poverty stricken country with up to a third of its population suffering chronic hunger, is on the verge of public outcry driven by the successes of the mass rallies held throughout the region.  In making his announcement Saleh called on the opposition to freeze all planned protests and rallies, and to form a national unity government.
