Huge crowds massed in Yemen‘s rebel-held capital Sanaa on Saturday as thousands of Yemenis marked a year to the day since Saudi Arabia began a bombing campaign in support of the the impoverished country‘s government.

The intervention in support of President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi began on 26 March last year, but has yet to deal a decisive blow to the Houthi rebels and their allies, who still control Sanaa and key parts of the country.

„Together against the tyrannical Saudi aggression,“ said a large banner in Sanaa‘s Sabaeen Square where protesters gathered.
