Tens of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets in protest against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, as the main opposition alliance prepared to discuss setting up a committee to run the country in his place.
The Joint Meeting Parties, a coalition of six opposition groups, said today that it would discuss the creation of a transitional council in a meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Protesters in cities across Yemen continued their five-month effort to topple Saleh in rallies after Friday prayers.
