Thousands of people participated in the largest anti-Houthi event since the last September of the Shiite militiamen in the capital of Yemen. Armed militiamen were deployed in the streets where the president resides Thursday pushed to resign. But they did not intervene and let people pass.
"We are protesting today to reverse these armed militias and push them to leave the capital Sanaa!" Said one protester.
Women also expressed. All wanted to express their refusal to see President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi from power. The government has also resigned. And Parliament is expected to vote tomorrow, Sunday, on these departures at a special session. But it is unclear whether the Houthi militia enable her outfit.
The vacuum at the head of Yemen could deprive the US of a valuable partner in the fight against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as the country is the home of this group and the government had given its approval for air strikes its territory against the jihadists.
Sign of the complexity of the situation, the Houthis invoke the fight against the jihadists to justify territorial expansion. They left their northern stronghold last year to eventually take over the presidential palace this week. Originally Houthi also agree to a draft federalization of Yemen.
