The dollar has become 1200 [Yemeni Riyals] and the Saudi [Riyal] has become 350 and the Russian [Ruble] has become 50 Riyals, where do we go, the army is beating citizens and so far one person has been killed.”

SOT,Local resident (Arabic): “Today, Taiz is experiencing a volcanic revolution and rage in protest against the deteriorating living and economic conditions, and against the rise of the dollar. The crazy rise exceeded 1200 riyals.
