occupation, they said by houthi fighters. the second most important thing that came out of that meeting was the formation of some sort of parallel government and administrative structure that would look after the political and security, as well as obviously their administrative matters of all the different cities that the houthis do not control. significantly among them are the oil production cities in yemen. now, what's going to make this succeed or not is whether the international community will back it up, whether the international community which has so far almost the majority of it refused to recognize the houthi group, whether they will recognize this new body as representative of the yemeni people. the statement also called for the reinstatement of the president, who was forced to resign after the houthi's took control of the capitol saying it was not going to recognize any negotiations taking place so

denies. >> i'm part of the popular mobilization forces. i'm a witness to everything that has taken place here and i can tell you that hasn't happened. >> for now the shia militia wait and wonder what they will face when they eventually attack. also isil say they control tikrit in actually fact, it is the army really in control. they're a group of sadaam hussein latists and he was bosch in that town. they don't necessarily share the same gomes as isil in establishing the slack caliphate but do want regime change here in iraq and sunni rule. >> in mid june, this town became the focal point of fighting. it took three months to break the siege an evidence of how
