Yemenis Gather in Tens of Thousands to Demand Formation of Transitional Council

HeadlineJun 27, 2011

In Yemen, tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets on Sunday to demand that a transitional council be formed to replace embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh left Yemen earlier this month, shortly after he was injured in an attack on his presidential compound. Protesters demanded Saleh not return home and that his sons and relatives leave Yemen.

Kawthar Al Matari, protester: “The crisis is gas and oil. It is not a crisis of the revolution. This is a revolution, not a crisis. The youth is still in the squares, and we have one aim, and that is to overthrow the regime.”
