In Sana, Yemen protests are all over the place. They want the leadership in Yemen to fall and it is spreading to more of the country. The foreign minister appealed to countries in the Gulf for $6 billion dollars for aid for the economy in Yemen. Abu Bakr Al Qirbi, foreign minister, says it is threatening their stable economy. Also, Saudi Arabia is asked as well for help because they are friends of Yemen government. President Saleh is said to be open to political communication of reform. But when asked to step down from office before elections, Mr. Saleh obviously turned down the plan. Protestors claim they wont stop fighting until he leaves office in Yemen. Since they wont stop, now it is spreading across the country to new areas.
