Thousands of opponents of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh protest in Yemen

Protesters rallied in cities across the country on Friday after release of Ali Abdullah Saleh from a Saudi hospital, international media reports. Experts have expected that Salehi’s promised return to the country might cause another wave of unrest in the country.

Opposition to the Salehi’s regime marched across the country while government loyalists rallied in the central square in the capital of Sana'a. The state-run SABA news agency showed photos of supporters carrying large pictures of the embattled president.
