Yemenis marched in 17 provinces to demand the immediate resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and protest dwindling supplies of fuel and electricity.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators packed onto al-Siteen Street in Sana’a, chanting “Where is the petrol? Where is the gas? You bloody bandits! You crisis-makers!” Government supporters also marched near the presidential palace in the capital, carrying pictures of Saleh, who is in Saudi Arabia recovering from an attack on his palace last month.
