Mass Protests in Yemen Against Saudi Arabia

Two years after the start of the international war in Yemen, thousands of people in Sanaa have protested against the air raids of a Saudi-led military coalition. Protesters in the capital controlled by Houthi rebels waved Yemeni flags and called for chorus against ‘Saudi aggression’.
The Saudis, led by the British along with the Americans, had been fighting for two years in Yemen. Yemen is very poor; millions of people are threatened by hunger as a result of the war.
Not until mid-March was a refugee boat with Somalis aboard off the coast of Yemen from the air. More than 32 people died. Although no one was aware of the dead, the human rights organization Human Rights Watch said Sunday that the attack had been carried out ‘apparently’ by the Saudi coalition. It had the airiness in Yemen. The rebels do not have an air force.
