Following the inauguration of his successor, Yemen's ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh is due to leave the country within days, aides say: He's seeking exile in Ethiopia. Despite his exit from power, Saleh's presence in the country has remained a source of tension, prompting thousands to protest today, the AP reports. Saleh has been in and out of the country since unrest began, and many fear he won't truly relinquish power until he has left. Aides say he'll head for Ethiopia, with some family members in tow, within two days. A diplomat in Sanaa confirmed that arrangements had been made for his departure. (More Yemen stories.)
