Yemeni protesters demand withdrawal of Houthi rebels
2014-10-01
Hundreds took to the streets of Yemen's capital on Tuesday for the second protest this week demanding that Houthi rebels who seized control of Sanaa leave.

The rebels overran the capital 10 days ago in a lightning offensive and have maintained a strong military presence, conducting patrols and manning checkpoints.

Known as Houthis, the Shiite rebels have refused to quit Sanaa despite a UN-brokered deal to give them more influence with the Sunni-dominated government.

Frustration with their presence has grown and hundreds rallied in central Sanaa on Tuesday, after a similar protest on Sunday.
