Video of Protests in Yemen

Updated | 2:53 p.m.As my colleaguesNada Bakri and David Goodman report, the wave of protests against autocratic governments in the Arab world has now spread to Yemen, where thousands of people took to the streets of the capital Sana on Thursday.

Video of the demonstration in Sana was posted online by Al Jazeera. On YouTube, three clips, apparently shot today in Sana, were uploaded on Thursday by a blogger using the nameAbas Al Nahary. This video shows several people recording a large rally on their phones:

Another blogger, who goes by the nameEmadyy on YouyTube, posted this clip of what appears to be the same rally around a speaker addressing the crowd from a stage, with a note calling it a “festival against tyranny and injustice in Yemen.”

The Lede is searching for more images of the protests in Yemen. If readers have seen video, photographs or first-hand text accounts of Thursday’s protests there posted online, please send us links in the comment thread below.

Update: Thanks to the reader who sent us a link to this video, of what the blogger who posted it called “the pink rally,” in Sana on Thursday. For more on how the opposition in Yemen decided on that color for the protest, seea new post on the subject on this blog.
