Yemen: political vacuum and chaos risk

"Our political leaders must urgently form a military council"



Yemen, no one on his head, risks plunging deeper into chaos. Following the resignation of the President and the Prime Minister, under pressure from Shiite militias Houthis, parliament must approve these departures. But it will not meet before Sunday. Until then, anything can happen in the capital controlled by militias: they took the presidential palace Tuesday, encircle since last night the seat of Parliament as well as the homes of senior officials, including the Minister of Defense.


"Our country is in a constitutional vacuum, said al-Aidaros Mehthar, a resident of Sanaa, and we want our politicians of all stripes, come together to form a military council urgently so that the country does not sink into a huge conflict. "

Analysts said the Houthis hesitate to lead the country, lack of political experience but also for fear of violent reactions of the Sunni community, the majority, and jihadists of Al Qaeda.
