FILE - In this Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014 file photo, Houthi Shiite rebels chant slogans during a protest near the site of a suicide bombing in Sanaa, Yemen. Yemen's 2011 Arab Spring revolt began with a nucleus of young men and women, a mix of socialists, secularists and moderate Islamists seeking to end autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33-year rule and transform the poorest Arab nation into a democratic, modern society. In October 2014, nearly four years later, Yemen is in chaos and Shiite rebels have overrun the capital. Saleh is out of power, but remains powerful, with his loyalists infusing the political scene and the military. Attempts at real reform are in disarray. (AP Photo/Abdullrhman Huwais, File)
