Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets on Saturday in the biggest demonstrations yet against the Houthi group that dominates the country, two days after President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi¡¯s resignation left the country in political limbo.
Houthi gunmen shot and wounded four people at a protest in the Red Sea port of Hodeida, residents said. In Sanaa, two intelligence agents were shot dead by gunmen on a motorbike, security sources said.
Witnesses said a crowd estimated at up to 10,000 people marched from Sanaa University toward Hadi¡¯s home some 3 km away and back, repeating chants denouncing both the Shiite Muslim Houthi group and predominantly Sunni al-Qaida.
