Afghanistan's Karzai Buries his Brother

On July 13, Afghan President Hamid Karzai led thousands in funeral prayers for his half-brother whose death on July 12 has left a power gap in the unstable southern province of Kandahar. Ahmad Wali Karzai, one of the most powerful and influential men in southern Afghanistan, was killed by his long-serving bodyguard in house in Kandahar. His death along with a series of assassinations of officials in the city in recent months is being seen as illustrative of the insurgency by the Taliban militants. Mr. Karzai's power base came from his tribal and family background and the fortune he accumulated. In his lifetime he was accused of acquiring his fortune from the illicit drug trade and having links to the CIA; charges he strongly denied and which the Afghan president says have never been proven.

Protest Continue in Yemen

Around 10000 Yemeni protesters demonstrated on Sanaa's streets on Sunday demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh be tried in court for crimes ranging from corruption to increasing levels of poverty. Demonstrators filled the streets for what they called a continuation of protests which began on September 18. The protesters accuse the president and his family of widespread corruption and failing to address the escalating poverty and enforcing effective gun laws in the country. The crowds chanted "the people want the army to protect the revolution." Women and children poured water from their windows and rooftops over the protesters in a traditional expression of support. Recent shootings have claimed around 100 lives, as international pressure mounts on the Yemeni president to step down. The clashes in the Yemeni capital have delayed a Gulf Cooperation Council initiative that would see Saleh stepping down and handing over all constitutional authorities to his deputy.
