Thousands of Yemenis have taken to the streets of capital Sana’a to voice their outrage at the ongoing military coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, against their impoverished nation and a crippling blockade the invading alliance has imposed on Yemen’s ports, particularly the vital port of Hudaydah.

Yemeni protesters marched in the Settin Street in the capital on Monday morning, shouting anti-Saudi slogans and demanding the immediate lifting of the persisting blockade from all Yemeni ports.

The demonstrators also chanted slogans such as “The famine and blockade are creations of the evil alliance” and “The blockade is unjust, the world is sleeping.”

The protesters, who also carried large Yemeni flags, finally convened in front of the United Nations office in Sana’a, calling on the world body to intervene and prevent the Saudi-led coalition from further bombing the crisis-hit nation.
