SANAA, Feb 25:(CNN): Another report adds: Thousands of demonstrators, mostly students, were lining the streets outside Sanaa University Friday as anti-government protests continued. That protest was countered by a pro-government demonstration on Tahrir Square, where thousands waved flags and held up pictures of the country's president. "We are gathering in support of President Saleh's initiative and to show the international community that we are with Saleh and that the opposition does not control the streets," Mohammed Maueri, the spokesman for the interior ministry, said before the demonstration. Anti-government protesters said they were looking for the country's regime to end. "This protest and all the following protests are for the fall of the regime,"aid Noman Saleem, an anti-government demonstrator. "We will not slow down until it falls. Whether it takes place today or tomorrow, we are patient and we will wait."
