Hundreds in Yemen protest unpaid salaries, fuel shortages
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Hundreds took to the streets of Yemen's capital Sanaa and the southern port city of Aden to protest a liquidity crunch that has prevented authorities from paying salaries for the past three months.
Security forces loyal to the anti-government Shiite Houthi rebels dispersed dozens of protesters in Sanaa on Sunday. They also maintained a heavier than usual presence throughout the capital in anticipation of renewed protests.
Lengthy power outages and fuel shortages have also added to the suffering of many in Sanaa and Aden.
