Yemenis have poured into the streets of the port city of Aden in a show of support for the country's newly formed National Council.
On Saturday, the demonstrators chanted slogans against Saudi Arabia and condemned what they called Riyadh's meddling in Yemen's internal affairs, a Press TV correspondent reported.
They also expressed strong opposition to the return of Ali Abdullah Saleh from Saudi Arabia.
Yemen's National Council was unveiled on Wednesday, a day after Saleh said he would return to Yemen soon.
Saleh is currently receiving treatment in Saudi Arabia for injuries he sustained during an attack on his palace in early June.
Popular protests against Saleh broke out earlier this year, encouraged by uprisings that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt in January and February.
Hundreds of protesters have been killed and many more injured in the regime's crackdown on Yemen's popular uprising.
