Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has promised on Thursday to hold a referendum this year on a new constitution, which would open the way for a parliamentary regime demanded by the opposition. Abdullah Saleh has, in turn, appealed to prepare a national unity government, with an eye on the new constitution.
Saleh has also committed to "continue to protect" the protesters, both supporters and opponents of the regime, among which there were three dead in clashes. Since the beginning of the protest movement in late January against Saleh's regime, in power for 32 years, about thirty people have been killed, according to Amnesty International (which goes beyond the Yemeni official figures) .
These statements have been made live on television and had Yemeni opposition reaction. "Too late," said an opposition leader, who added: "The protests will continue and more in the streets."
