Yemeni Houthis stage anti-gov’t sit-ins

Houthi Shias and their supporters in Yemen have held sit-ins and demonstrations in order for the Yemeni government to meet their demands.

 

The sit-ins were staged on the outskirts of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.

They have warned the Yemeni government that they will take action if it fails to meet their demands until Friday.

Thousands of Houthis protested in Sana’a earlier on Wednesday.

They slammed foreign interference in the country’s affairs and also called the government to reduce fuel prices.

This as the government has increased the price of petrol from 2,500 Yemeni riyals to 4,000 riyals per 20 liters.
