What is it Like to be Living in Yemen?
Yemen citizens discuss living in a power vacuum as Shia rebels announce a politcal takeover and force the resignation of President Abdarabbuh Mansour Hadi
We speak to Yemenis about what it's like to be living in Yemen. Shia rebels have announced a political takeover of Yemen, dissolving parliament and replacing the president with an interim presidential council. There has been a power vacuum in the country after Yemeni President Mansour Abdrabbuh Hadi resigned at the end of January along with his prime minister in protest at the takeover of the capital Sanaa by Shia Houthi rebels. The Houthis, from northern Yemen, have mounted what analysts are calling a slow-motion coup. The US embassy closed for business because of mounting security concerns. What is life like in Yemen at the moment?
