For the third day in a row, popular demonstrations continue in the Yemeni province of Taiz to protest the continued deterioration of the economic situation, amid a comprehensive strike of shops and civil disobedience to institutions.

Thousands of demonstrators chanted slogans condemning the government of Hadi , the fugitive former Yemeni president,and the US-backed Saudi-led coalition and blamed him for the deteriorating economic situation in the country

The demonstrators raised banners accusing the coalition of fabricating the economic crises of the Yemeni people and continuing its suffering with war, hunger and crises,

The economic and living conditions are deteriorating sharply, as prices continue to rise, following the rapid collapse of the national currency

On Monday, Yemeni activists launched a large-scale campaign on social networking sites demanding a “popular uprising against all” because of poor living conditions. Activists in Yemeni social networking sites called for a revolution called “the revolution of the hungry” to denounce the severe deterioration of the living situation in Yemen

In March 2015, the US -backed –Saudi-led coalition started  a war against Yemen with the declared aim of crushing the Houthi Ansarullah movement, who had taken over from the staunch Riyadh ally and fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, while also seeking to secure the Saudi border with its southern neighbor. Three years and over 600,000 dead and injured Yemeni people and  prevented the patients from travelling abroad for treatment and blocked the entry of medicine into the war-torn country, the war has yielded little to that effect.

Yemen is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with more than 22 million people in need and is seeing a spike in needs, fuelled by ongoing conflict, a collapsing economy and diminished social services and livelihoods,according to UN.
