In Yemen, calls to a ‘day of rage’ draw at least 20,000 to Sanaa | Raw Story: "SANAA (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Yemenis squared off in peaceful protests for and against the government on Thursday during an opposition-led 'Day of Rage,' a day after President Ali Abdullah Saleh offered to step down in 2013.

The peaceful protests faded out by midday as planned, suggesting Yemenis outside the traditional opposition activist core had not been motivated to transform the rally into a self-sustaining, Egyptian-style mass upheaval."
