Yemen's Shiite rebels reject agreed federal plan
The leader of Yemen's Shiite rebel Houthi movement on Saturday rejected a reform agreement made last year to divide the country into six federally organized regions, a major blow to local and international efforts to unite the divided country.
In a message broadcast to thousands of supporters on public screens across the country, Abdel-Malek al-Houthi said the rebels, who have taken over a string of Yemeni cities including the capital Sanaa, reject the plan "categorically."
"Beware of any attempts to overthrow the revolution," he said.
