May 04, 2025
Sanaa [Yemen], May 4: Yemen's Prime Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak said on Saturday he had resigned, a symbolic step signalling rifts inside the internationally recognized government amid economic hardships in the war-torn country.
Bin Mubarak said on the social media platform X that he had handed his resignation to Rashad al-Alimi, the head of the Presidential Leadership Council, a Saudi-backed body holding the reins of power in the government-controlled areas in the divided country. Yemen has been embroiled in a disastrous power struggle since 2014, between government forces, supported by a Saudi Arabia-led alliance, and the Iran-linked Houthi rebels. (DPA)
