Yemen's opposition has repeatedly drawn tens of thousands to the streets to protest against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's three decades of autocratic rule in recent weeks, but by noon the protesters quietly vanish.

Some activists maintain, however, that khat serves as a social lubricant that helps fuel the opposition movement.
