AFP, ADEN: Yemen’s Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and several of his ministers travelled to Aden Wednesday from exile in Saudi Arabia, two months after loyalist forces pushed Iran-backed rebels out of the city.
“The government has moved its base from Riyadh to Aden,” government spokesman Rajeh Badi told AFP.
There was no indication that President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi—who fled Yemen in late March when the Shiite Huthi rebels closed in on his refuge in the southern port—was set to return.
Bahah’s government will conduct the country’s business from Aden, including “reinforcing the Popular Resistance in Taez” said Badi, in reference to pro-Hadi fighters battling rebels in the central region.
In March, a Saudi-led Arab coalition launched an air campaign against the rebels and their allies among renegade forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
