Iran-backed Houthi rebels convened their Parliament on Saturday in defiance of the internationally recognized government, prompting condemnation from President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The session in rebel-held Sanaa was the first time Parliament has convened in almost two years, and comes after the Houthis rejected a UN peace plan and appointed a council to run the country. Parliamentary sources said that 91 lawmakers in the 301-member national assembly attended the session. All voted in favor of the council which was created last week.
