A new armed faction calling itself the 'Free Yemen Movement' has reportedly announced a rebellion against the Houthi movement from within the capital Sanaa, according to a report carried by The Zioneer. The declaration, described as coming from within the Houthi-controlled city, signals a potential new front of internal opposition to the Iran-backed group. The Zioneer has previously reported on tribal mobilization against the Houthis in several Yemeni provinces (July 5) and on indications of internal friction within the pro-Houthi camp (July 5).
