Després de setmanes d'incertesa política al Iemen, la milícia houthi, que el mes de gener va prendre el control de la capital, Sanà, i va obligar el president Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi i tot el consell de ministres a dimitir, va anunciar el dia 7 de febrer que dissolia el parlament i que la seva branca de seguretat i intel·ligència, coneguda com a Comitè Suprem Revolucionari, passava a dirigir el país.
After Yemen's uncertainty being in political limbo for weeks, the Houthi militia, who took over the capital Sana'a and forced President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi and the cabinet to resign last month, announced today that they would dissolve parliament, placing their security and intelligence arm, known as the "Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SRC)," as the ruler of Yemen.
