Australian government advise... as at 4 April ... what is posted below is just the start of the summary ... the link is pages long and makes for scareie reading

http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/yemen

This advice has been reviewed and reissued. It contains new information in the Summary and under Safety and Security: Civil Unrest/Political Tension (ongoing very high risk of further political violence and tension in Yemen in coming days). The overall level of the advice has not changed

Summary

All Australians in Yemen should now depart because of the ongoing deterioration in the security situation and continuing violent clashes causing a large number of casualties including some reported deaths.

The security environment throughout Yemen continues to deteriorate. Further protests are highly likely in coming days.

Following Friday prayers on 18 March 2011, a significant number of protestors were killed and injured in clashes around University Square in Sana’a.

A State of Emergency has been declared by Yemeni authorities and will remain in place until at least 17 April 2011.

The political situation in Yemen is highly fluid. There is a risk of open conflict between elements of the security forces and of a breakdown in law and order.

In light of these developments, we repeat our earlier strong advice that all Australians depart Yemen as soon as possible by commercial means while it is still possible to do so.
