		</div><p>Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis marched today in support of Shiite Houthi rebels and their ally, former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.</p>
<p>The march in the rebel-held capital, Sanaa, was in support of a new combined governing council the rebels and Saleh announced late last month, but which was immediately rejected by the internationally recognised government and the United Nations.</p>
<p>Saleh was forced to step down in 2012 amid Arab Spring protests after more than three decades in power.</p>
<p>Yemen&#8217;s war pits troops and militiamen loyal to the government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, against the Shiite rebels and Saleh loyalists.</p>
<p>The Houthis captured Sanaa in 2014, and the US-backed coalition began its offensive against them in March 2015.</p>
<p>Later in the day, coalition airstrikes hit the presidential palace in Sanaa and other areas in the city, leaving an unknown number of casualties, security officials said.</p>
<p>Peace talks collapsed earlier this month, and the Saudi-led forces resumed heavy airstrikes shortly afterwards.</p>
<p>In Oman, one of the locations used for peace talks, Houthi negotiators said that Saudi forces were preventing them from returning to Yemen by blocking international flights to Sanaa&#8217;s airport.</p>
