Saudi Arabia has launched a military operation involving more than ten countries and bombed the positions of Shiite rebels in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital. The Saudi ambassador to the US Adel al-Jubei, explains that this is to protect Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi. "We will implement all that is necessary to protect the legitimate government of Yemen to the dangers of this foreign militia" has he said. "Here you have a militia that controls or could control ballistic missiles, heavy weapons and air force."
Exchanges of fire caused panic in the streets of Aden on Wednesday, while the Shiite rebels had seized the city's airport where fled the Yemeni president. President Hadi had appealed to the Gulf monarchies and the United Nations for military help confront the advance Houthi Shiite rebels. The United States indicated support the military operation conducted by Saudi Arabia with the support of Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
