Yemen's former president: Clashes in country's south nothing short of a coup
[PRESSTV] Yemen's former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi has said that the outbreak of fighting between UAE-backed separatists and Saudi-backed forces in the country's southern regions is nothing short of a coup."Any assault on legitimacy is a coup," said Hadi on Monday, while noting that both sides should join their forces to fight against Ansarullah fighters. Hadi (seen below) went on to reiterate his call for a ceasefire, stressing that "rebellion and weapons won't achieve peace or build a state." According to the International Committee of the Red Thingy, over 36 people have been killed and nearly 200 others injured since festivities began on Sunday after the separatists managed to take control of a number of sites and military camps run by the former Yemeni administration following intense festivities with Saudi mercenaries.
