The new Yemeni government, headed by Maeen Abdul Malik, was sworn in today, Saturday, in front of Yemeni President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, at his residence in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
Hadi last week ordered the formation of a new government consisting of 24 portfolios, split between north and south, in which Abdul-Malik would retain the presidency.
This action came in accordance with the Riyadh agreement concluded a year ago to end the dispute between the internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Southern Transitional Council, and based on the outcomes of the National Dialogue and the initiative of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
