MOSCOW (Sputnik) – In early August, the UN-brokered talks in Kuwait on Yemen’s reconciliation ended with the government and Houthi rebels failing to come to an agreement and the rebels forming the Supreme Political Council with a prospect of ruling the country.
According to the Press TV broadcaster, Yemenis carried national flags and posters reading "Reforms are the most efficient popular force in the face of enemies" during the rally near the Presidential Palace in Sanaa.
Earlier in the day, Saleh Ali Sammad, the head of the Houthis’ new political body, announced plans to create a government in the near future as well as promote Yemen’s reconciliation.
Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the government and the Houthi rebels backed by army units loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at the Yemeni government’s request.
