Yemen: Tens of Thousands Rally to Support Houthi Rebels

the capital Sana'a as talks continue between the government and the
rebels' leader in the north. Today marks the deadline issued by the
Houthis for Yemen to roll back a hike in fuel prices, which has impacted
the poor, and to dissolve the government, which they say is corrupt.
