It looks like there is a mass mobilization against the self-serving and corrupt government. Check it out:

SANA????????A ???????? Violence spread through a number of cities in Yemen on Wednesday, July 20, resulting in a number of deaths and numerous injuries, as protestors displayed their anger at price increases imposed on fuel and gas.

The protests turned violent when crowds in the capital????????s areas of neighborhoods of Tahrir, Al-Hasaba, Hayl, and Taiz Street began to smash advertising hoardings and block roads with uprooted trees and bushes, and burnt tires.

Dozens of security force units were dispatched to the scenes and responded by firing warning shots into the air and using tear gas to disperse the protestors. Crowds then turned on the police and military with sticks and rocks.

The scenes, repeated in other cities throughout Yemen, left the city in a state of shock.

The current death toll stands at 6 in Sana????????a, 3 in Dhamar, and 6 in Dhali????????. Dozens more people have been injured, according to local media reports. There’s no official statement to confirm or deny the figures above.

Police say they managed to prevent entry into the capital of some 30 vehicles transporting people from the vicinity of Khawlan, with the intention of joining the rioting, an official revealed to the Observer. They purportedly intended to attack banks and major stores in the capital.

Several banks were attacked in Sana????????a, including the Central Bank of Yemen, as well as a number of governmental institutions, among them the headquarters of the Ministry of Oil & Minerals and the Ministry of Finance, and several other government buildings.

Members of the public expressed their dismay at the day????????s events. One onlooker, Abdul-Rahman Khalid, told the Observer: ???????I am very disappointed that what should have been peaceful protests turned violent. But I also think that the military and police response was excessive and uncalled for.”
