Summary
Thousands of Yemenis took to streets of the capital Sanaa -- inspired by the unrest that started in Tunisia and then spread to Egypt. And like in Egypt and Tunisia -- they're demanding a change of government. At least 10 thousand gathered at Sanaa University, and around 6,000 took part in other protests throughout the city. The demonstrations were organized by Yemen's opposition coalition. One opposition leader said the people of Yemen were calling for reform. Another opposition member says the people will no longer accept corruption. President Ali Abdullah Saleh has ruled the impoverished Arabian Penunsula state for over 30 years.
