10 years into Huthi rule, some Yemenis count the cost

With a floundering economy and growing restrictions on personal freedoms, 10 years of Huthi rule has left its mark on Yemen's ancient capital, Sanaa, where some quietly long for how things once were. The Huthis, a radical political-military group from Yemen's northern mountains, have imposed strict rule over the large swathe of Yemen under their control, covering two-thirds of the population. Yemen, mired in one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, remains divided between the Huthis and the government, now based in the port city of Aden. The Huthis, who adhere to the Zaidi branch of Shiite Islam and claim divine right to rule, have tightened their control over many aspects of daily life.
