Pro-Democracy Demonstrations in Ibb, Yemen
Yemen Post: Many demonstrations were held in various districts of Ibb province in protest against what protestors claim is the election expropriation and the coup against democracy.While demonstrations in the South have been going on for over a year, and there have been some tied to specific grievances throughout Yemen, since voter registration was announced, the entire country has witnessed large scale demonstrations. The catalyst is the demand for electoral reform prior to the April Parliamentary elections in Yemen. In essence, the people are demanding a clean election. They know that the outcome is pre-determined as it stands now with President Saleh's ruling party in charge of the voter registration committees and electoral commission.
