Tausende demonstrieren im Jemen gegen Regierung In der jemenitischen Hauptstadt Sanaa haben heute Tausende Demonstranten einen Regierungswechsel verlangt. An der Universität versammelten sich 10.000 Menschen, weitere 6.000 Demonstranten zogen andernorts durch die Straßen der Stadt.
Die Menschen forderten in Sprechchören die Ablösung von Präsident Ali Abdullah Saleh, bessere Lebensbedingungen, ein Ende der Korruption und der sozialen Ungleichheit. Rund 100 Angehörige der Sicherheitskräfte wurden im Bankenviertel in Sanaa zusammengezogen. Die Kundgebungen verliefen friedlich.
Seit mehr als 30 Jahren Präsident
Präsident Saleh ist ein wichtiger Verbündeter in dem von den USA ausgerufenen weltweiten Kampf gegen den Terrorismus. Er regiert das Land, das mit hoher Arbeitslosigkeit und schwindenden Öl- und Wasserreserven zu kämpfen hat, seit mehr als 30 Jahren. Fast die Hälfte der 23 Millionen Einwohner lebt von weniger als zwei Dollar am Tag, ein Drittel leidet Hunger.
Proteste hatten vor zwei Wochen zum Sturz des tunesischen Präsidenten geführt. Auch in Ägypten gibt es seit Tagen massive Proteste gegen die Regierung.
