Shadow government formed by Yemeni protesters amid Saleh crisis
In Sanaa protest leaders formed a 17 member shadow council to unify leadership for demonstrators seeking to oust President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

The announcement followed a day before the 33rd anniversary of his rise to power amid stalled power transfer talks and rising regional chaos.
