(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Protesters marched in Sanaa toward the residence of Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, the acting head of state, calling him to stand with the populist uprising and create the council.
“We are here to demand an immediate establishment of a transitional governing council to run the country,” said Maha Naji, a protester, adding that Saleh and others who commanded government forces that killed protesters at recent demonstrations should face justice. “We want the prosecution of those who are killing the people.”
It was the largest protest since Saleh flew to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment after he was severely injured in an attack that targeted his palace on June 3.
The growing pressure from Yemen’s streets follows talks between Hadi and political opposition groups on Monday to break the political impasse and pave the way to a gradual handover of power.
However, youth activists said they reject any dialogue, demanding the immediate departure of Saleh and his loyalists. In a statement, youth leaders said they rejected dialogue with “the remnants of the Saleh regime” and would consider any agreement that includes them as “illegitimate.”
