Protesters March in Taiz to Mark Anniversary of Revolution

Thousands of people took part in rallies across Yemen on February 11 to reject a recent government takeover by the Houthi rebel group, and to mark the fourth anniversary of the country’s uprising in February 2011 which saw the toppling of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The Houthi rebels forced the resignation of former President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah on January 22.
