Collapse of local currency sparks angry protests in Taiz

TAIZ, Jul. 15 (YPA) – Dozens of Taiz sons staged on Thursday angry protests in Taiz province because of the collapse of the Yemeni riyal against the foreign currencies.

The demonstrators called on the Saudi-backed exiled Hadi government” to leave, considering it facilitated the task of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi in starving Yemenis, with the goal of occupying Yemen and plundering the country’s wealth.

They also carried banners denouncing the failure to hold the corrupt accountable to the judiciary through public trials.

The demonstrators called Revolution of hungry that would continue to remove all the corrupt inside and outside power, in a reference to the leaders of the Islah party.
