Back on the streets in Yemen.<br/> <br />Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Sanaa Thursday demanding a restructuring of the army.<br/> <br />They want units that defected during the uprising against former President Ali Abdullah Saleh be re-integrated into units that stayed loyal to him.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) PROTESTER MOHAMED HAZA'A SAYING:<br/> <br />"One of the revolution's demands is that the army be restructured. It is a must that the army be restructured, and we took to the streets to demand the restructuring of the army as a priority."<br/> <br />They marched to the residence of Yemen's new president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. They say they want an army that represents all political persuasions.<br/> <br />Saudi Arabia and Washington, the target of abortive attacks by the country's wing of al Qaeda, backed Hadi in a single-candidate election aimed at starting a two-year transition during which the military is to be restructured.<br/> <br />Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
