{The U.N. Security Council on Sunday ordered the immediate withdrawal of rebel forces from government institutions in Yemen, warning of \u201cfurther steps\u201d if insurgents do not cease hostilities in the Middle Eastern nation.}<\/p>\n
The demand was part of a British- and Jordanian-drafted resolution adopted unanimously by the 15-member council, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n
The resolution \u201cdeplores actions taken by Houthis to dissolve parliament and take over Yemen\u2019s government institutions, including acts of violence,\u201d referring to the Iranian-backed Shi\u2018ite Muslim militia that has overthrown the government and prompted increasing attacks from al-Qaeda and other Sunni terrorist groups.<\/p>\n
Besides the withdrawal, the resolution also calls on Houthi forces to come to the negotiating table for a U.N.-brokered political settlement and release the Yemeni President, Prime Minister and other Cabinet members from house arrest.<\/p>\n
