Ousted Yemen president refuses to leave country

Ousted Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh is saying that 10 of his rivals among the country's top military commanders, politicians and tribal leaders must leave the country with him for the sake of stability. Though Saleh transferred power to his vice president last month after a yearlong uprising, he has refused to leave the country, as promised.

Many accuse him of working behind the scenes to obstruct the new government as it tries to bring reform and step up the fight against al-Qaida militants.

Meanwhile, a new survey by the United Nations has determined five million people in Yemen are not getting the food they need.

“Hunger is on the increase in Yemen and rising food prices combined with conflict are taking their toll on many families,” said WFP’s Yemen Representative Lubna Alaman.
