The demonstrators attempted to march to the Egyptian Embassy in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, but were stopped by security forces.

From the AP:

Buses ferried ruling party members, equipped with tents, food and water, to the city's main square to help prevent attempts by protesters to gather there.

There were about 5,000 security agents and government supporters in the Sanaa square named Tahrir, or Liberation. Egypt's protesters built an encampment at a square of the same name in Cairo, and it became a rallying point for their movement.

Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has ruled for more than 30 years. Saleh recently attempted to placate unrest by announcing that he wouldn't run for re-election at the end of his term in 2013. For many, though, that is not enough.

On Saturday, Al Jazeera reports that protesters could be heard chanting "After Mubarak, it's Ali's turn" and "A Yemeni revolution after the Egyptian revolution."

Protests Friday night, expressing similar sentiments, turned violent when men armed with knives and rifles confronted the protesters.

Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country, has seen a resurgence of al-Qaeda.

Saleh discussed a pay raise for civil servants and the military with advisors Friday night. But Al Jazeera reports that opposition leaders don't think that's enough.

"This is a quick move to try and get rid of popular anger," Mohamed al-Sabri, an opposition coalition leader, told Al Jazeera. But Yemenis are not mad about a lack of spending on wages."
