Yemeni students call for ouster of Saleh, others call for long life for him

By Nasser Arrabyee/22/01/2011

The Yemeni security forces dispersed Saturday two student demonstrations one calling for the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the other supporting him.

The security forces intervened with the tear gas when the two groups were almost to clash with each other at the gate of the Sana’a university.

Hundreds of students loyal to the opposition parties led by prominent members from the Islamist Islah party, were chanting “ Ali, Ali go after your friend Bin Ali” in reference to President Ali Abdullah Saleh and the deposed Tunisian President Zain Al Abdeen bin Ali.

The students loyal to the ruling party were chanting “ Ali or death, Ali or death” , “ Youth , youth , the Islah is the terrorist”

The demonstration by the students loyal to the ruling party was the first on Saturday, but the demonstrations of the opposition students started earlier last week.
