Demonstrations continued on Wednesday for the sixth successive day in Yemen to condemn the Houthi coup against the legitimacy of the transition president and government.
Demonstrations were staged in Taiz, Dhamar and other provinces demanding to reject orders from the powerless authorities in the capital city of Sanaa after the Houthi coup.
In the past few days, Houthi militants attacked and arrested tens of protesters and activists during anti-Houthi protests in the capital. On Tuesday, Houthis prevented thousands of protesters from gathering in the capital and even hunted and attacked some protesters and activists with knives and batons.
In Taiz, people carried placards reading, "Taiz should make its own decisions" and "the Janad region should be confirmed now".
Meanwhile, the UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar is continuing efforts to reach a deal between all factions in the capital to end the current political deadlock. Well-informed sources told the Yemen Post that a presidential council is underway within the expected deal coinciding with reports that Houthi militants are still affecting the talks in Sanaa.
On Tuesday, leader of the Houthi militant group, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, criticized the resignations of the president Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi and the government saying they were not a normal move.
He defended what the Houthi militias are doing in the capital including the seizure of the presidential compound and brigades of the elite forces saying such acts were right and legitimate because they have not resulted in bad impacts.
In speech, Al-Houthi called for a better transition of power and a comprehensive meeting this Friday in the capital to address the latest developments.
President Hadi and the government resigned this past week on Houthi coup and pressure.
