Two divisions from the Central Security and the Republican Guard joined the popular youth-led revolution on Tuesday, as military defections to the squares of freedom and change continue in Yemeni cities.

A spokesman for the defectors said their move came to demonstrate their refusal to destructive and bloody orientations of the remaining officials within the Saleh regime who refuse peaceful solutions to the situation in Yemen.

He expressed their readiness to defend the peaceful revolution, expecting the coming days will see more defections to the uprising.

Meantime, informed sources said that the Central Security leadership had ordered its members in Yemeni cities to avoid going to the streets in their uniform to prevent them from joining the popular revolution.

Recently, a number of divisions from the Republican Guard and the Central Security announced support to the youth-led revolutionaries, as crackdown on protests continued leaving some killed and injured.

Months ago, commander of the first armoured division, Ali Muhsen, once one of the closest allies of President Saleh, announced peaceful support the revolution and since then his soldiers have been guarding the Change Square outside Sana'a University.
