'Day of Rage' Rallies Staged in Yemen

也门举行“愤怒日”集会

Thousands of demonstrators in Yemen are taking part in "day of rage" protests Friday, calling for the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The Reuters news agency says eight protesters were injured in the southwestern city of Taiz after a passenger in a vehicle threw a grenade at them.

也门成千上万的示威者星期五参加了“愤怒日”抗议活动，呼吁也门总统萨利赫辞职。路透社说，在也门西南部城市塔伊兹，一辆汽车上的一名乘客向示威者扔出一枚手榴弹，造成8名抗议者受伤。

Also, at least four demonstrators were injured in the capital, Sana'a, as chanting anti-government demonstrators clashed with supporters of Mr. Saleh. At least three people have died in the protests across Yemen which have now continued for an eighth straight day.

同时，在也门首都萨那，至少4名示威者受伤。当时，高呼口号的反政府示威者与萨利赫的支持者发生冲突。也门各地的示威活动已经进入第八天，至少有3名示威者丧生。

President Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for more than 32 years, is the focus of almost all opposition protests that have built up in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula nation over the past week. Demonstrators also have denounced what they say is systematic oppression and widespread corruption.

几乎所有也门反对派抗议活动都是针对统治也门32年以上的萨利赫总统。在过去一周里，反对派在这个贫困的阿拉伯半岛国家连续举行抗议活动。示威者谴责也门有组织的压迫和普遍的腐败问题。
