Violent clashes are intensifying in Yemen as longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh refuses to step down. At least 21 people were killed on Tuesday when Saleh’s forces clashed with the guards of a prominent anti-government tribal leader in the capital, Sana’a. Yemen has been locked in unrest for four months, with anti-government demonstrators calling for an end to Saleh’s 33 years in office.
