Found it:

Squeezed into the back of a pick-up truck around an anti-aircraft gun, while parked outside Yemen's parliament, three young men stuff green khat leaves into their mouths.

Chewing the mild, narcotic plant is a daily routine for most Yemenis.

Khat

They are chewing Qhat (sometimes spelled Qat) which is a mild narcotic.
