    The Deputy Minister of Information, Abduh al-Janadi, accused Mohsen and the opposition Islamist Islah party of trying to incite civil war in Yemen.
    "We say to General Ali Mohssein Saleh, whom we all respect and appreciate, you are a man in his seventies, and it is not in your interest to meet your God with your hand stained with the blood of the Yemenis.
