Yemen protests: Thousands call on president to leave

Thousands of Yemenis are demonstrating in the capital Sanaa, calling on Ali Abdullah Saleh, president for more than 30 years, to step down.

This comes after mass protests in Egypt and a popular uprising in Tunisia that ousted its long-time leader.

'Tunisia-inspired'

Protesters gathered in several locations of the city on Thursday morning, chanting that it was "time for change", and referring to the popular uprising in Tunisia that ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali earlier this month.

We live in interesting times.
 
We need a ululation mp3 attachment from a Bedouin or a Touareg to go with these threads :D
 
As long as those tyrants are replaced by moderate representative regimes
 
It's good seeing people from African nations finally fighting dictatorships instead of letting them continue their nonsense forever...
When will SA voters stop voting for the most corrupt political party in the country??

Fighting began in 2014 between a weak Yemeni government and the Houthi rebel movement. It escalated a year later, when Saudi Arabia and eight other Arab states - backed by the US, the UK and France - began air strikes against the Houthis.

It is a complete disaster of a country.

It has been in a near permanent state of war since the break up of the Ottoman Empire.

Flew to Asia 2 years ago. Flew around Yemen instead of across it, which shows you how dodgy and unruely that place is.
