Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Yemen’s Ibb province on Monday to call for the ouster of the relatives of President Saleh and trying those responsible for crimes including murdering antigovernment protesters and innocent people in their homes in some parts of the republic. 

They urged the international community to support the popular revolution in Yemen seeking change and a civil state as well as removing the cover on the remaining officials of the Saleh regime. They said that the international community should stop providing military and financial aid to the falling regime because such aid is being used to kill the people and confiscate their rights. 

They chanted slogans condemning the military operations in some districts on the outskirts of the capital Sana’a and in the provinces of Taiz and Abyan, and the collective punishment of all the Yemeni people through involvement in all crises topped by acute fuel and cooking gas shortages, persistent power outages and price hikes. 

Furthermore, they affirmed the Yemeni revolution is always peaceful until its objectives were achieved. The massive demonstration coincided with continuous protests and sit-ins in downtown main cities to continue the youth-led uprising that started six months ago.
