Yemen's President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi Saturday dismissed all measures taken by the Shiite Huthi militia as "null and illegitimate", in his first public comments since fleeing house arrest in Sanaa.
In a statement he signed as president, in an apparent retraction of a previous offer to resign, Hadi said "all measures and appointments made since September 21 are null and illegitimate", and urged the international community to "reject the coup" by the militia.
A Hadi aide said earlier the president's resignation last month was tendered under pressure from the militia that overran the capital on September 21.
