This post is inspired by an old published post on
Buzzfeed about Syria's brutal dictator, Assad; using Instagram. Like Assad, Yemen's ex-president, Ali Abdullah Saleh's started to use -not Instagram-
Facebook and
Twitter over the past six months. You never know! he might join Instagram soon.
As it's the case, ousted president Saleh's Facebook posts are mainly about his activities and personal interests. He intends to 'share' stuff with his 'fans'. However, his FB presence is a tool to reach out the masses and send a clear message that says; 'I'm here'. Indeed, he is here and enjoying an absolute impunity. Saleh is not only a man responsible of the 2011's protests killings, but he is also responsible of several civil armed conflicts the country witnessed during his 3 decades old regime. While he should have been behind bars, he's Facebooking.
