Academics protest, urge Houthis to pay salaries

The Yemeni Teaching Union Coordinating Council organized protests on Saturday against Houthi militias and their ally, the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh, calling on them to pay their salaries.

The head of the Union at the University of Sanaa Mohammed al-Zahiri said that the Teaching Union Coordinating Council at the public universities had taken the decision to protest to urge the Houthis and Saleh to pay the employees in all the universities.

He stressed that the protests took place in nine public universities. They want the concerned authorities to know that the situation is no longer bearable, thus they are asking them to end their suffering and pay the salaries.

The Houthi militias have not paid the employees’ salaries for the past three months.
