Sana'a, Yemen - Hundreds of university students took to the streets of the Yemeni capital Sana'a on Sunday to show support for the Tunisian people in the aftermath of turmoil which culminated in the ouster of long-time president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
Around 700 students marched through the streets carrying banners showing solidarity with Tunisia and calling on Arab leaders to step down.
"Leave before you are forced to leave," read one banner.
Others read: "Long live Tunisia...A free nation and a great people" and "Peaceful and democratic change is our choice to build the new Yemen."
Police were seen blocking traffic to secure the demonstrators' march route of some 8 kilometers from the Sana'a University campus to the Tunisian embassy.
