At least three protesters were killed and 19 others injured on Friday when Yemeni security forces dispersed hundreds of separatist demonstrators in the southern port city of Aden, witnesses said.
Security forces backed by armored vehicles opened live ammunition in an attempt to disperse the protest by southern youth activists demanding a secession of southern regions, killing at least three separatist protesters and injuring 19 others in Khor Maksar district in Aden, a witness and local residents told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
"The security soldiers first used tear gas and then opened heavy fire, trying to raid the al-Oroud Square where hundreds of protesters gathered to demand secession from the north and the right of self-determination," said the witness.
Here are some of the southern protesters:
Here are my favorites, chewing qat under a graffiti of a south Yemen flag:
The Southern cause is just. Our support of the dictator's tribe and family is not in our interest. It is in the interest of the dreadful Saudis. May we soon fall away from the Saudis!
