Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Yemen's capital Sanaa and other major cities on Sunday, demanding the president's son and aides to leave the country and calling for establishing a transitional council, witnesses told Xinhua.

The protesters chanted slogans against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's son and relatives in the army, demanding the swift establishment of a transitional governing council, according to the witnesses.

"We want freedom, we want a transitional presidential council to be formed soon... we want to build a modern civil state," the protestors yelled.

The 69-year-old embattled president was airlifted to Riyadh for treatment, a day after a shelling hit a mosque inside his presidential palace in Sanaa and injured him as well as several other senior officials.

Government officials said Sunday that Saleh would deliver a speech to the nation within 48 hours.

Yemen has been rocked with continuing protests across the country since January, calling for ousting Saleh.
