Demonstrators also chanted slogans against the US and Saudi Arabia, accusing the two countries of running plots against Yemenis’ revolution. Washington and Riyadh had a major role in replacing Saleh with his deputy Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi in a single-candidate presidential election.
Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, stepped down under a US-backed power transfer deal in February, which granted him immunity, after nearly a year of mass street protests against his rule.
Meanwhile, Yemeni ministers loyal to Saleh walked out of a cabinet meeting on Tuesday hours after Saleh reportedly threatened to pull his supporters out of the unity cabinet as part of his attempts to bring down the new government, AFP reported.
Saleh has also telephoned Prime Minister Mohammed Basindawa personally and “threatened” his government. He has accused Basindawa’s government of being “weak” and of “not understanding anything about politics.”
