The Houthis not so subtle power play

On 8 September, Abdel Malik al-Houthi (pictured here), said that protests would continue in Sanaa.



The groups is playing on common Yemeni complaints that the government is corrupt and not striving to build on the gains of the 2011 Revolution and 2013/14 NDC to enhance its own regional ambitions. Protesters are currently located in numerous areas of the country. The map shows areas of the capital where the main protest camps are located. Since 18 August, when the protests began, only one protester has been killed. The protester died after the first incident of major violence on 7 September along Sanaa's Airport Road.
