[Yemen Post] Al-Baydha
March in al-Baydha today as protesters demand the immediate departure of President-for-Life Saleh.
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...

The crowd was clamoring for the regime to be taken to trial for killing innocent and peaceful citizens.

"What a shame oh Yemenis, he killed the women and elderly" was chorused by the protesters over and over.

Sana'a:
A female led march began in Sana'a in late afternoon condemning Saleh's crimes in Taiz and demanding the freezing of his assets both inside Yemen and abroad.

Anger is running high since all hope of a political resolution seemed to have gone up in flames with Saleh's latest refusal. So far all is peaceful. Protesters are saying that Saleh is allowing them to demonstrate peacefully because of UN envoy being still in Sana'a.

Taiz:
Many protesters have complained over the past few days of a certain political radicalization saying that political elements were trying to gain momentum by using the revolution and people's anger towards the regime to push forward their own agenda. Islamists have been working at appearing to be the better option.

Ibb:
Protesters have said they would not allow the government to ferry weapons through the area to hit Taiz. The tribes have actually warn Saleh that severe repercussions would ensue if he did not stop massacring its people.
