Several Million of Yemeni gathered nationwide in the streets of Yemen yesterday, demanding the fall of the regime and Ali Abdullah Saleh's trial as they say the president is continuing to murder his people.
Protesters had spell out "butcher" across their chest in red ink in denunciation of president Saleh's many crimes. "He's using snipers to gun down women and children, Sana'a and Taiz are under shelling attacks everyday…Saleh is killing Yemeni and the World stands silent…We will not," said Mohamed Hassan Said a defected officer.
In Sana'a, the capital, a funeral march was organized to bury the bodies of the victims of the revolution amongst whom was 4 year-old little Waffa. While carrying the coffins the crowd was chorusing anti-regime slogan, asking the international community to bear witness of the crimes committed against peaceful Yemeni people.
And in spite of the anger and the sorrow which is crushing hearts, Yemen went on chanting: "Peaceful, peaceful".
As the day advanced in "Change Square", the sounds of explosions could be heard in the background, coming from Hasaba and other northern districts of the capital, as Sofan, al Dari and al Sahwan have become the new targets of choice of the government forces.
In Hayel Street, protesters reported that a woman, Kafaya al-Hamoodi was killed by a sniper as she was walking pass. Her body was taken to the University's makeshift hospital for protection and identification as protesters fear further body-abduction from the regime, for they say Saleh is trying to pass their victims for his.
