Yemen’s former president and vice-president have been warned by the UN Security Council that they will face sanctions if they do not stop interfering in the Yemen’s democratic reforms.
Ex-President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his deputy Ali Salim al-Beidh are accused of meddling in the country’s affairs and the Council also expressed concern about reports that weapons and money were being smuggled into Yemen.
"What [President Ali Abdullah Saleh] should not do is undermine the political transition, the national dialogue, which is fully supported by all the international community,'' Britain's UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said.
"What we are saying is that we are giving our full weight behind that process, and we will not tolerate individuals of whatever stature undermining that process.''
