Yemen: Walking the Walk, One More Protester Dies (Videos)

This post is part of our special coverage Yemen Protests 2011.

A teenager was shot and killed in Aden, Yemen on Monday, February 21 as tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in four separate cities on the 11th day of protests calling for the end of the three-decade reign of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. At least 11 people have died since the demonstrations began, and Amnesty International says at least 78 people have been injured. Five students remain in police custody.

In a press conference on Monday, President Saleh said he refused to step down, but did offer to hold talks with opposition parties. This was quickly rejected. The protesters, younger citizens and opposition party supporters, don't appear to be going anywhere soon. Students began camping out at Sana'a University on Sunday. And in Aden, police fired warning shots to disperse protesters, who also said they would make a camp.

Al-Masdar Online has photos from Monday's rallies.

Video photographers grabbed shots from all over the country.
