|
|
Around 3,000 marched from the capital Sanaa's university toward the city
|
|
centre, chanting slogans against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in
|
|
office for more than 30 years.
|
|
|
|
Police tried to disperse the demonstrators using tear gas, wielding batons and
|
|
firing stun guns, but the crowds of mostly young people kept marching.
|
|
|
|
Saleh has already promised to not seek re-election when his term ends in 2013
|
|
in an effort to quell recent unrest.
