Yemen’s human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman reiterated her support for the legitimacy of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, stressing that he will remain a leader of Yemen until after the coup ends and the state is retaken.

Human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Tawakkol Karman has urged Yemenis of various affiliations and areas to retake the state that should impose its influence and sovereignty on the entire national territory and have the monopoly over the means of violence.

Yemeni activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has renewed her scathing attack  on Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, noting that Al Sisi constitutes a real disaster to Egypt that has never gone through a such ordeal.  

Gunmen in Yemen’s besieged city of Taiz have recently dragged bodies of snipers belonging to the Iran-backed Houthi militia allied with ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh after they were killed in clashes taken place in different parts of the city between the militiamen and the Yemeni national army.
