There are burns on his face and his arms and hands are reportedly in bandages but Saleh, who has been recovering in Saudi Arabia, isnt ready to give up power -- despite six months of protests seeking his removal.We welcome the sharing within the framework of the constitution and in the framework of the law, we welcome power sharing in the framework of the constitution of Yemen, which allows for multiplicity of parties and politics and allows for the freedom of opinion.In the address on Yemen TV, he also discussed the bomb attack on his compound.Yes I had a number of operations, more than eight successful operations, to recover from burns caused by the accident, they include eight successful operations.Many diplomats say it is unlikely that Saleh will be able to return to Yemen where the movement against him has only intensified.
