Yemen: Pro-Houthi Demonstrators Protest U.S.-Backed Airstrikes

HeadlineAug 12, 2015

In news from Yemen, pro-Houthi demonstrators gathered in the capital city Sana’a Tuesday to protest the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes. Hundreds of men marched through streets at an all-male rally, while women gathered for an all-female rally outside the United Nations building. One of the Houthi leaders spoke out at the protest.

Ibrahim al-Obaidi: “Today we came out in rejection of colonialism, in rejection of the siege. We will continue preparation and implementation of strategic options soon.”
