<p>Yemeni police armed with sticks and daggers beat back thousands of protesters marching through the capital in a third straight day of demonstrations calling for political reforms and the resignation of the country&#8217;s US-allied president.</p>
<p>The protests have mushroomed since crowds gathered on Friday to celebrate the ousting of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak after an 18-day revolt fuelled by similar grievances.</p>
<p>Yemen is one of several countries in the Middle East feeling the aftershocks of pro-reform uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.</p>
<p>Police used truncheons to stop protesters, many of them university students, from reaching Sanaa&#8217;s central Hada Square. Witnesses said plain-clothes policemen wielding daggers and sticks also joined security forces in driving the protesters back.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Interior called on people not to heed &#8220;suspicious calls for chaos&#8221; and to avoid rallies which &#8220;obstruct the course of daily life&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yemen&#8217;s president Ali Abdullah Saleh also postponed a trip to Washington scheduled for next month due to the &#8220;circumstances in the country,&#8221; the state news agency reported.</p>
