The Joint Meeting Parties JMP, Yemen's biggest opposition coalition, called on the international community to save the country from a massacre that will result in the death of more Yemenis in the hands of the ruling President Saleh regime.

Opposition JMP spokesperson Mohammed Qahtan said, "We call on the GCC and the international community to help Yemen and stop the bloodshed caused by the Saleh regime against innocent peaceful protesters."

He added, "Saleh is killing people without fear and the international community must not watch quietly."

"Protesters have been shot by Saleh's snipers today in Taiz and Hodieda. The seat of presidency is more valuable than Yemeni blood."
