Hundreds of employees at a public trucking company demonstrated Monday in and around the southern Yemeni city of Aden to protest the government's non-payment of their salaries, witnesses said. 

The protestors blocked Aden's roads as well as other towns in the south of the country with trucks and buses belonging to the state-owned company. 

"They are demanding the payment of salaries which they have not seen for almost one year," an official from the truckers' union told AFP. 

The demonstration took place amid tight security and without incident - ADEN (AFP)
