Yemeni President Abed Rabbu Mansour Hadi appointed a new Prime Minsiter Tuesday, only to have Houthi rebels reject the nomination, according to Reuters.
The Houthi’s rejection further complicates the country’s political climate as Yemen attempts to overcome years of political turmoil, Reuters reports.
“This decision has met widespread popular rejection and the people are preparing to resume the revolutionary escalation and complete their revolution which will only end with achieving their objectives,” a Yemeni official was quoted as saying.
Houthi fighters took control of Yemen’s capital last month after overrunning an army brigade and have resisted demands to leave Sanaa.
