Yemen: Pro-Houthi Demonstrators Protest U.S.-Backed Airstrikes 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Yemen, pro-Houthi demonstrators gathered in the capital
city Sana'a Tuesday to protest the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition
airstrikes. Hundreds of men marched through streets at an all-male
rally, while women gathered for an all-female rally outside the United
Nations building. One of the Houthi leaders spoke out at the protest.

Ibrahim al-Obaidi: "Today we came out in rejection of colonialism, in
rejection of the siege. We will continue preparation and implementation
of strategic options soon."
