Thousands rally in Yemen capital

Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets of Sanaa Saturday in the biggest protest yet against a Shiite militia takeover of the capital that has plunged the country into turmoil.

The demonstration came as regions in the formerly independent south stepped up their defiance after the Shiite militiamen, who hail from Yemen’s northern highlands and are known as Houthis, tightened their grip on Sanaa. (AFP)
