Sana’a: Yemeni protesters hold a demonstration in the southern city of Taizz to demand the removal of members of the regime of deposed dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, media reported on Sunday.
According to reports, the demonstrators took to the streets of Taizz on Sunday, calling for the dismissal of those figures from the former regime that still hold a number of major military and political posts.
They have also been calling for the trial of Saleh and his aides for ordering the killing of protesters during the revolution that began in January 2011.
Yemen’s former dictator Saleh formally stepped down and handed over power to his deputy Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi on February 27. The power transfer occurred under a Saudi-backed deal brokered by the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council in April 2011 and signed by Saleh in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on November 23, 2011.
The new Yemeni president, who is a UK-trained field marshal, was sworn in on February 25 following a single-candidate presidential election on February 21, which was supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia.
