YEMENIS SAY ENOUGH

Dozens of students, university faculty and activists protested outside the abandoned Saudi embassy in Sana’a Monday morning. The protesters carried banners condemning the airstrikes in Yemen carried out by the Saudi-led coalition since March 26. The protesters demanded an end to the strikes and a return to negotiations. Demonstrators threw their shoes at the gates of the embassy to show their anger about the strikes, which have killed hundreds. Adel Al-Usaimi, a student at Sana’a University and one of the organizers of the protest, said that the group does not represent any political party, group or side.  Those demonstrating, he said, are united around calling for an end to the strikes.
