Yemen's parties to join anti-president protests

The opposition parties in Yemen, opposed to the current President, Ali Abdullah Saleh, joined the protestors today in favor of the president stepping down from power. This is a major setback for the United States, because Saleh is a major supporter of the United States in the War on Terror. Yemen is the next in a series of uprisings that have swept the Middle East and Northern Africa. Citizens are tired of being ruled by long standing dictatorships, and it is the youth that have decided to rise against them.
