Re: The situation in Yemen
This article from November says he did return, that he and the Houthis share the same form of Shi'a Islam. Apparently the king was also the imam of this sect and therefore has religious as well as political significance to the Houthis. The article also says he has some popular support and is quoted as supporting democracy along with other fine things. I couldn't find any more recent articles about what has happened with him since his return. http://www.diplomatmagazine.nl/2014/11/03/yemeni-royal-returns-exile/
