Yemen Uprising Escalates in March 23
As the Yemen uprising escalates, we update you with the latest developments from our correspondents, news agencies and citizens across the globe. Al Jazeera is not responsible for content derived from external sites.
2:45am Faris Almatrahi is an organiser for the Yemeni Youth For Change - a political reform movement that aims to bring together young Yemenis living outside the country.
He told Al Jazeera that the Obama administration's position could cause it to lose support among ordinary Yemenis - who have been vocal in their opposition to president Saleh.
2:30am The US state department has once again deflected questions on whether president Ali Abdullah Saleh should step down immediately.
On one side: members of the presidential guard and on the other a military battalion that defected, and is now supporting anti-government protesters.
12:00am It's midnight in Yemen, and we begin a new live blog. But you can catch up on all that happened yesterday by reading our March 22 blog here.
