SANAA (Reuters) - Thousands of Yemenis took to the streets on Saturday in the biggest demonstration yet against the Houthi group that dominates Yemen, two days after President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's resignation left the country in political limbo.

Witnesses said up to 10,000 people began marching from Sanaa University towards Hadi's home some 3 km away, repeating chants denouncing both the Shi'ite Muslim Houthi group and predominantly Sunni al Qaeda.
