RNA - Tens of thousands of protesters poured to the streets of Sana'a on Sunday, in a mass demonstration decrying the ongoing Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen, stressing that the people of Yemen are fully prepared to confront aggression.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen since March 2015 to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 13,100 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.

According to several reports, the Saudi-led air campaign against Yemen has drove the impoverished country towards humanitarian disaster.

Over the past two years, Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has been running state affairs and defending the nation against the Saudi aggression.
