Massive Demo in Saada to Confirm Support to Yemen Uprising
[Yemen Post] Hundreds of thousands erupted into the streets in Yemen's Saada province on Monday in a big demonstration to confirm full support to the continuous popular uprising demanding an immediate ouster of the regime.

A delegation from Hodeida province participated in the protest in which the people condemned the deadly crackdown on the protesters and rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud calling for ousting the regime and opening trials for killer and corrupt officials.

A few days ago, Saada Governor Faris Mana'a held a presser and declared the peaceful support and joining of Saada to the youth-led uprising.

Also, a demonstration was held in Aden province in which thousands of people rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud urging Saleh to resign immediately and rejecting any initiative giving immunity to the president and his regime from prosecution after leaving office.

In Ibb, thousands of people walked in the funeral of the protesters who were killed last Friday. At least three people were killed and many others injured in gunshots by the pro-government forces and snipers after the prayers.

In the walk, the people condemned the killings and demanded the departure of the regime.

No incidents were reported in any demonstration as the GCC is pushing a seemingly failed power transition initiative.

Rejecting the GCC West-backed initiative after talks with Abdul Latif Al-Zayani, the Secretary General of the GCC, currently visiting Yemen, the opposition urged today Yemen's neighbors and friends to pressure Saleh to resign and stop the illegal ways to quell the protests.
