Yemen's dominant Houthi movement dissolved Parliament on Friday Feb 06,2015 and said
a new interim Assembly and government would be formed, a move denounced
by a main political faction as a coup.
Yemen has been in political limbo since President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi
and the government of Prime Minister Khaled Bahah resigned last month
after the Houthis seized the presidential palace and confined the head
of state to his residence in a struggle to tighten control.
The Houthis, who became power brokers when they overran Sanaa in
September 2014, had been holding talks with the main political factions
trying to agree a way out of the stand-off.
Friday's declaration suggested that the Houthis had taken on more
powers, including forming the new Parliament and control over the
military and security forces.
