Thousands of armed Houthis and their supporters protested in Sanaa's old city on Monday to condemn a decision by the US State Department to designate the Houthi group as a "terrorist organization”.

The Houthis have controlled the capital, Sanaa, and large areas of Yemen since 2014, and have been fighting daily battles against forces loyal to the internationally-recognized government backed by a Saudi-led military coalition since March 2015.

The classification is expected to hinder many dealings with the Houthis, including financial transfers and payments for medical staff, food and fuel, for fear of being subject to US sanctions.
