The President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has rejected opposition calls to resign quickly as at least four more people died in anti-government protests. He accused his opponents of conspiracies and coups, and urged them to take part in elections. President Saleh has promised not to seek re-election when his term of office expires in 2013, but protesters are demanding he leave now.
The President-elect of Haiti, Michel Martelly, has criticised what he called the "desperately slow" pace of reconstruction in his country. During a visit to Washington, Mr Martelly told the American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he was counting on her to ensure that international aid would be used effectively. Mrs Clinton promised the US would help Haiti in any way it could.
"This election offered the people of Haiti an opportunity to give voice to their dreams for their country's future. And now it will be up to Mr Martelly and his government to do everything in their power to help achieve those dreams. And the people of Haiti may have a long road ahead of them, but United States will be with you all the way."
