Yemen’s Saudi-backed government appoints new prime minister
Al Jazeera5 days
Saudi Arabia has completed its hostile takeover of southern Yemen by purging the last UAE-backed official from the Presidential Leadership Council. The sacking of Bahsani and forced dissolution of the STC under Saudi pressure reveals a foreign power crushing local autonomy and imposing total control through military force and political coercion.
The appointment of Foreign Minister Shaya Zindani as Prime Minister represents a crucial step toward restoring legitimate state institutions and ending the Iranian-backed Houthi coup. This cabinet reshuffle advances comprehensive reforms, combats corruption and strengthens unified sovereign decision-making after years of instability.
