(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In an attempt to fill the power vacuum in Yemen, thousands of protesters, rejuvenated by Saleh's departure, demanded the creation of an interim council.
The Yemeni leader is currently receiving medical treatment in Saudi Arabia.
The Yemeni president was injured in an attack on the presidential palace on Friday, June 3.
On Tuesday, a Yemeni official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Saleh has burns covering about 40 percent of his body.
His vice president said on Monday that Saleh would return to Yemen in a matter of days.
However, earlier reports suggested that Saleh is unlikely to return to Yemen anytime soon due to the severity of his injuries.
The protesters gathered outside Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's residence and called for a swift transition of power.
