Yousef Mawry reports for the Middle East Eye from Sana'a in Yemen where he interviews members of the public about the recent protests against the government which thousands of people have taken part in. 

The video shows Yemenis venting their frustration about the high price of fuel, corruption among government officials, and the lack of job opportunities, which has led to some university graduates having to resort to washing cars in order to make ends meet.
