Thousands of anti-government protesters in the Yemeni capital Sanaa say they don't trust President Ali Abdullah Saleh to keep his promise to step down. Mr Saleh agreed on Saturday to hand over power to his deputy within 30 days, but the protesters say he must go immediately. Earlier, the president told the BBC that al-Qaeda had infiltrated the opposition. From Sanaa, Lina Sinjab reports.

也门首都数千名反政府抗议者表示,他们不相信总统萨利赫会遵守诺言辞职。周六,萨利赫同意三十天内将权力移交给副总统。但是抗议者表示他必须立即下台。此前,萨利赫总统告诉BBC,基地组织已经渗透到反对派内部。萨那,Lina Sinjab报道。

The opposition denied the president's allegation. Young Yemenis have been camping out in the country's capital, demanding democratic change for a month. They are not ready to accept any deal with a president they distrust and are demanding his immediate departure. Young Yemeni activists say they are already planning to increase the number of demonstrations. It doesn't look as if Yemen's political crisis will end soon.

反对派否认了总统的指控。也门年轻人已经在首都外安营扎寨,要求一个月内进行民主变革。他们不准备接受他们不信任的总统继续执政的任何协议,要求总统立即下台。年轻的也门活动积极分子表示,他们正在计划增加示威活动的数量。看上去也门的政治危机似乎不会那么快结束。
