The more I read about Yemen, the more worried I get. I feel that Yemen isn't being reported on as much as it should. Especially since the situation is becoming just as bad at the situation in Syria."Witnesses say thousands more fighters are on their way to Sanaa to boost the tribal forces. Flights at Sanaa airport were disrupted due to the fighting, but officials say operations have returned to normal. President Ali Abdullah Saleh is refusing to step down despite months of opposition to his 33-year rule. Fighters loyal to powerful tribal leader Sheikh Sadiq al-Ahmar have been battling government troops in Sanaa since last week. Sheikh Ahmar heads the Hashid tribal confederation that has declared its support for the Yemeni opposition movement. A ceasefire agreed on Friday broke down two days ago and street battles have raged since, leaving scores dead or injured."
