American Government supports Saudi military action in Yemen


The American government has come out in support of Saudi Arabian military action against Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has fled the country as the Shi'ite Houthis have expanded their control over the country, and is now reportedly in Saudi Arabia. 

US State Department spokesmnan Jeff Rathke told journalists on Thursday that Secretary of State John Kerry had spoken to members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, or GCC, about the crisis. He said Washington still recognised President Hadi, and said the Houthis had brought the Saudi military action on themselves.
