Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh, has given new steps on Thursday to try to stop the riots. If yesterday said he was willing to hold early elections this year, today offered an amnesty to military personnel who have been "folly" of destabilizing and join the opposition. Has promised to transfer power peacefully, but has given no indication of the times or conditions, according to a statement read by him on the news channel Al Jazeera.
"There is no reason or circumstance for us to take the political system to the gallows," he said. It has made clear it will defend the "independence and stability of Yemen by all possible means." However, little seems to have served the announcement yesterday on the legislature. The opposition today stepped up its efforts to overthrow him and there have been new clashes.
Meanwhile, several European countries have announced the total or partial evacuation of its embassy in the country. Tensions continue to rise, especially today, a day before the big rally planned for Friday, which opponents have dubbed "out Friday." The message of the cornered president has been portrayed as "empty words" by Yassin Noman, chairman of the opposition coalition.
The spokesman for the opponents of the regime, Mohammed al-Sabry, said that "There is no dialogue or initiatives to the dead regime." Thursday in the city of Mukalla in Hadramout Province in the east coast of Yemen, presidential guards loyal to Yemeni President Saleh has faced Army units supporting opposition groups and protesters calling for his resignation .
A local government source said that a colonel had been wounded, but it was unclear which side was. Meanwhile, Gen. Ali Mohsen, Commander of the North West area, said this week that he now supported the protesters who have been calling for democratic change for weeks and they want Saleh leaves office after three decades in power.
On the other hand, several countries have decided that their political delegations leave Yemen. The Embassy of Spain has taken a temporary closure to the output of diplomatic and official working in the Spanish delegation. This morning set off for Spain as a result of the security situation.

Germany has halved its embassy staff, while donors of development aid organizations have left the country altogether, fearing an escalation of violence.

Meanwhile, the UK Government announced the withdrawal "with immediate effect" on the part of the diplomatic staff of its embassy in Yemen's capital and called on all British citizens to leave the country.
