Massive Demo in Saada Warns of Manipulating Uprising
2011-05-11
[Yemen Post] A massive demonstration was held in Yemen's province of Saada on Monday to reject dialogue, warn of manipulating the popular uprising, and condemn the crackdown on the antigovernment protests.

The demonstrations also carried banners reading: no to initiatives that never meet the demands of the people as the GCC head today said that the GCC power transition initiative was the best solution to the Yemeni crisis.

In their statement after walking in the streets, the protesters urged to bear sense of responsibility towards the challenges facing the popular uprising and also urged patience and holding on to face any desperate attempts to thwart the revolution.

"There should not more talks with the regime which is continuing killing the citizens in various provinces. The time of dialogue has gone and the peaceful revolution has started; hence the regime should respond to the voice of the people," the statement said.

The demonstration coincided with massive protests in Ibb, Dhale and Shabwa provinces in which the people called for an immediate ouster of Saleh and opening trials for him and officials in his government over crimes including the murdering of the antigovernment protesters.
