Sanna:
Youths celebrated today what they said is the fall of Yemen's
regime after beleaguered President Ali Abdullah Saleh, hurt in a
blast inside his compound, left the country for treatment in Saudi
Arabia.
"Today, Yemen is newborn," sang dozens of youths in Sanaa's
University Square -- dubbed "Change Square" -- the epicentre of
anti-regime protests that have raged against Saleh's rule since
January.
"This is it, the regime has fallen," others chanted.
Saleh, wounded by an explosion as he prayed at a mosque inside his
presidential compound on Friday, was transferred to Saudi Arabia
late yesterday, but has not stood down, a Saudi official said.
"President Saleh has arrived in Riyadh for treatment, but he will
return to Yemen," the official told AFP late on yesterday, on
condition of anonymity.
