Security forces killed one demonstrator and wounded four others, officials said, in the fourth day of rioting that has engulfed Yemen’s south.
The forces have clashed with thousands of former southern Yemen army officers, political activists and unemployed young men who accuse authorities in the north of unequal treatment.
The worst violence was in the south’s Lahaj province, where troops opened fire on 5,000 demonstrators in the town of Hablain, a security official said.
