While all eyes are on Egypt, several news agencies, Twitter feeds and Facebook posts are reporting that protestors marched Friday in Yemen’s Capital of San’a and the port city of Aden.

Demonstrations, which began as a celebration of solidarity with the Egyptian people, eventually turned into protests against long-time President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Large scale protests earlier this month forced the Saleh government into talks with the opposition. He agreed to their demands not to run for re-election in 2013, along with numerous other concessions.
