Ramping up pressure on embattled Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the country's envoys to several countries, including Pakistan and Spain, have declared their total support to protests against his 32-year rule. The move comes close on the heels of top Generals and tribal chiefs joining the mass uprising. A statement jointly signed by Yemen's Ambassadors to Pakistan, Qatar, Oman and Spain as well as its Consul in Dubai said, after their long waiting for the homeland's voice and interest to win, they declare their total support to the Yemeni youth protesting against the regime. Gulf News daily quoting the statement said that they are backing the demands for freedom and dignity in Yemen. The ambassadors urged the rulers of the country and the wise people in the army, public institutions, thinkers and scholars to make the interest of the country and its people prevail over their personal and family interests. The paper said, Yemen's Ambassadors to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria, China and Japan and its representative to the Arab League had earlier yesterday announced their support for ongoing public protests back home. Populat News Channel Al-Jazeera said, several military commanders and tribal chiefs in Yemen have already announced their support for pro-democracy protesters. The developments led to tanks being deployed yesterday on the streets of the capital Sanaa and prompted the Yemeni Defence Minister to declare that the army still backed the President. Calling for a political solution to the current unrest in Yemen, the US has said that there is a need for a government that is responsive and representative.
