Updated list of Resignations in Yemen

Update: Following Friday’s shooting in Sanaa a number of officials in the ruling GPC party have submitted their resignations. 

Below is an up-dated list that continues from this earlier post.

I will add more updates as they become available.

Waq al-waq has decided, in keeping with protests in Yemen, to keep a running tally of people resigning from the ruling GPC.  It very much looks like people are abandoning ship.

This list only represent those who resigned in protest or to join the protesters, not those who were fired or forced out.

I’m also sure I have missed some people, so feel free to make amendments/corrections in the comment sectioin.
