<p>Yemeni police with clubs have beaten up anti-government protesters who were celebrating the resignation of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak and demanding the ousting of their own president.</p>
<p>The crackdown reflected an effort to undercut a protest movement seeking fresh momentum from the developments in Egypt, where an 18-day uprising toppled Mr Mubarak.</p>
<p>His departure raised questions about the long-term stability of Yemen and other Western-allied governments in the region.</p>
<p>Hundreds of protesters had tried to reach the Egyptian embassy in Sanaa, Yemen&#8217;s capital, but security forces pushed them back.</p>
<p>Egypt&#8217;s protesters built an encampment at Tahrir Square, the same name as the main square in Cairo, and it became a rallying point for their movement.</p>
<p>The demonstrators tore up pictures of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and shouted slogans demanding his immediate resignation.</p>
<p>Buses ferried about 5,000 ruling party members, equipped with tents, food and water, to the city&#8217;s main square to help prevent attempts by protesters to gather there.</p>
<p>Witnesses said police, including plainclothes agents, drove several thousand protesters away from Sanaa&#8217;s main square.</p>
<p>Mr Saleh has been in power for three decades and has tried to blunt unrest by promising not to run again. His term ends in 2013.</p>
<p>Yemen is the Arab world&#8217;s most impoverished nation and has become a haven for al Qaida militants. Mr Saleh&#8217;s government is riddled with corruption and has little control outside the capital. Its main source of income &#8211; oil &#8211; could run dry in a decade.</p>
