Yemeni people took to the streets of the capital Sana'a on Friday to condemn an ongoing war led by Saudi Arabia and its allies against their country.
The demonstrators also expressed anger at the current economic crisis which the war has created in their country.
Protester Abdulrahman Faya'a said, "Saudi Arabia and the United States which lead the aggression against Yemen are the reasons behind the increase in prices."
"They are the reasons behind this systematic process targeting the Yemeni riyal. Because the reason for the recession of the Yemeni riyal are those countries who started the aggression and are targeting the Yemeni people, their food and livelihood."
Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a brutal war, code-named Operation Decisive Storm, against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh, and crush the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
The offensive initially consisted of a bombing campaign, but was later coupled with a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces into Yemen.
The imposed war, however, has so far failed to achieve its goals, thanks to stiff resistance from Yemeni troops and allied Houthi fighters.
Several Western countries have been supplying Saudi Arabia with advanced weapons and military equipment.
