    Default The President: a safe lightweight balances changes

    In a surprising move the President has shuffled senior civil and military posts:
    Yemen's president removed a half brother of former leader Ali Abdullah Saleh on Friday as head of the air force, replacing nearly 20 top officers but leaving Mr Saleh's son, nephew and other allies in place as heads of important military units.

    A small hiccup:
    Yemen's main airport has re-opened after a protest by air force troops against the sacking of their commander.
