Tens of Thousands Protest in Yemen 
-----------------------------------



While the world's attention has been on Egypt, mass protests continue
across the Arab world. In Yemen, tens of thousands marched today in what
has been described as a day of rage against President Ali Abdullah
Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for 32 years. On Wednesday, Saleh announced
he would not seek to extend his presidency beyond 2013, but protesters
want him to step down sooner.
