Yemen: Protesters storm presidential palace demanding payment of wages, improving living conditions

Yemeni public sector workers on Tuesday stormed a presidential palace in the southern port city of Aden, demanding payment of salaries.

Witnesses described dozens of protesters flooding into the palace where Yemen's Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik and other members of the internationally recognised government remain holed up, according to Reuters.

 According to the sources, the public were discontent with the lack of basic services, dismal living conditions, and depreciation of the Yemeni rial.

Footage on social media showed Aden's security chief, Mathar al-Shaebe, negotiating with a group of protesters and asking them to leave the security perimeter of Ma'asheeq Palace.
