The ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh fell morally and practically when he ordered to shout at peaceful protestors on 18 March 2011, said Nobel Peace laureate Tawakkol Karman.

On the seventh anniversary of the massacre of Friday of Dignity committed against peaceful protestors   in Yemen’s capital Sanaa, Karman stressed that regimes lose their eligibility and legitimacy to rule when started shouting at “peaceful demonstrators. 

Mrs. Karman, in a statement posted on Twitter, noted that Saleh’s regime in Yemen lost its balance and emerged as a gang because of the massacre taken place on 18 March 2011.
