Yemenis held anti-Saudi protests in the capital, Sana’a, and the southwestern city of Ta’izz.

Ta’izz was the scene of demonstrations both on Thursday and Friday, with the participants blaming Yemen’s worsening situation on the Saudi-led coalition, which is leading an offensive code-named Operation Decisive Storm on the country since March 2015.

During Thursday’ rally, the Yemenis held signs accusing Riyadh of stealing their country’s oil and gas resources, urging the regime to open the war-torn state’s airports.
