Yemeni Parliament Cancels Meeting on President’s Resignation

SANA, Yemen — Yemen’s Parliament on Sunday called off a meeting that was supposed to discuss the resignation of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, extending the state of political deadlock and exacerbating tensions in the streets of the capital.

“Members aren’t allowed in, and no one will attend,” Yehia Al Mathari, a member of Parliament, said by telephone as he walked away from the building and back to his car. “Al Sayyid will decide what happens next,” he continued, referring to Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Shiite-led rebel group now in control of the capital.
