Yemenis call for purge of Saleh loyalists

On Monday, demonstrators in the southern cities of Ibb and Taiz also called for the prosecution of Saleh and his inner circle for the killing of thousands of pro-democracy protesters since January 2011.

Saleh formally stepped down and handed over power to Vice President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi in February 2012. The power transfer occurred under a Saudi-backed deal brokered by the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council in April 2011 and signed by Saleh in Riyadh on November 23, 2011.

Since January 2011, Yemenis have held numerous demonstrations across the nation to call for political restructuring of the country and to demand the dismissal of members of Saleh’s regime from their government posts.
