A Special Forces batch was advanced by Houthi militias called the “quick intervention”, this batch is highly combative, on the occasion of their graduation; they carried out a military maneuver in one of the suburbs of Sana’a, as per the same sources. The ousted Saleh, earlier, asked to commit to the partnership with the Houthi militias in ruling Sanaa, as per their agreement to form the so-called political council, asserting the necessity of restoring to what he called the military and security institution and its importance in providing security beside the citizens and volunteers who are forming groups to protect the country.
