Large parts of Yemen's capital Sanaa have been taken over by Shia rebels in what their leader described as a "successful revolution".
Around 200 people were killed in fighting last week between the Houthi insurgents and government forces.
Yemen's president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has signed a power-sharing agreement with the rebels, who had called for the "corrupt" government to quit.
Rebel leader Abdel Malik al Houthi said the deal had been a victory for "all the people".
And he said it could lead to price cuts and economic reforms to ease pressure on Yemen's poorest amid fuel price rises.
In a dramatic power shift, the rebels had pushed deep into the capital and control the central bank and several military bases.
Mr al Houthi said in a televised speech: "These great efforts created this great success - victory - for all the people, forcing an answer to popular demands.
"If it is implemented, this agreement will also change the government, which the people called to fall, to fail, because it stood on an unjust, non-consensual basis."
The rebels have taken over key buildings in the capital He said the rebels had also removed "the most dangerous obstacles facing the state".
This was a reference to the Houthis' main opponents - Sunni tribal fighters and a powerful general, Ali Mohsen al Ahmar, who is backed by Sunni Islamists but was defeated by the rebels.
Mr al Houthi also vowed to go after al Qaeda in the country, calling the terror group the "remaining obstacle".
He said the way to battle them was through building a strong army and security forces with support of the "popular committees", a phrase used to refer to his rebel forces.
The president has defended himself, insisting he had not surrendered the capital to the rebels and saying a foreign "conspiracy" was at work.
Yemen's president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi That appears to be a veiled reference to Iran, which he has accused of arming and supporting the Houthis. Iran denies doing so.
Yemen has struggled to recover after veteran autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh was ousted amid Arab Spring protests in 2011.
The military split between forces loyal to Mr Saleh and those backing General al Ahmar, who had backed the uprising and went on to become a military adviser to Mr Hadi.
The divisions contributed to the rise of al Qaeda militants and the advance of the Houthis.
