Yemen Sees Continued Protests
An estimated three million people are expected to participate in protests in Yemen today. Laura Kasinof has been reporting for The New York Times from Yemen and she has the latest on the protests. Each Friday for the past three weeks, over 100 thousand people have been protesting after prayers. At the same time, there’s a pro-government rally that happens each Friday, with supporters bussed in. Is there still possible change for Yemen?
