Yemenis Continue Anti-Government Protests
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Yemen’s revolutionary activists held nationwide anti-government protests a day after a similar event ended in bloodshed.
On Wednesday, Yemenis organized an anti-government protest across the country.
The protesters accused the government of rampant corruption and mishandling the economy.
They also called on President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his government to step down.
On Tuesday, Yemeni government troops opened fire on revolutionaries and their supporters as they were marching towards the office of Prime Minister Mohammed Basindawain in the capital, Sanaa, killing at least seven people and injuring over 100 more, Press TV reported.
On Monday, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a TV address that state corruption has outraged the protesters and the government of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s policy of terror would make the people even more resolute to follow up on the problem of corruption in Yemen.
Since August 20, Houthi activists have been holding daily rallies in Sanaa with tens of thousands taking part.
