“The United Nations and the United States have condemned Yemen’s dominant Houthi group for dissolving parliament.

The move was also denounced by the country’s main political faction as a coup.

Houthi rebel leaders, however, say a new interim assembly and government will be formed as swiftly as possible.

Gamal Al-Soudi, the Houthi movement’s spokesman said: “The new transitional council will comprise 551 members and replace the now-dissolved house of representatives.”
