AT least 35 people have been injured after gunmen opened fire on protesters in the southern city of Taiz.
The non-uniformed men fired on protesters from rooftops demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh step down. The Secretary General of the GCC, Abdulla-tif al-Zayani, arrived in Sanaa on Saturday for a three-day visit aimed at resurrecting the power-transfer deal.
Meanwhile, Saleh said in a statement published in a Saudi newspaper, that he would go out on the street to bring down the new government, after any transfer of power.
He said the deal, which would see him leave office still needs further negotiation. Meanwhile, video published on a social media website showed protesters confronting troops in the city of Ibb on Friday.
Three people were killed and 15 were injured. The latest killings push the overall death toll since protests began, to at least 170.
