Another roller coaster day in Sana'a. It's the third day of a series of crazy events in the capital.

Due to that things were developing per a second, the following is an approximate chronicle of today's events.



-Taiz demonstrated in the morning in solidarity with Sana'a & against Houthis' "coup". Houthis' godfather, Abdel Malik Al Houthi's picture were burned.

As Houthis demolish #Yemen's government in Sanaa, what I'm watching for : substantive moves towards independence by south separatists.

-Finally, an agreement between president Hadi and Al Houthi was reached, resolving issues related to the constitution draft. Earlier, Reuters kinda broke the story, reporting that Hadi was ready to accept Al Houthi's demands: "In a statement issued in the evening, Hadi said the Shi'ite Muslim group had a right to serve in posts in all state institutions, and a draft constitution that has been a source of disagreement between him and the Houthis was open to amendment."

#SalehHouthiLeaks only prove that Saleh is not working with Houthis but actually in charge of them! #Yemen
