US EditionYemen Appoints Shaya Mohsen Zindani as New Prime Minister
Yemen's new prime minister is tasked with forming a cabinet as part of efforts to restore state institutions and counter southern separatist advances backed by the UAE.
- On Thursday, the Presidential Leadership Council accepted Prime Minister Salem bin Breik's resignation and appointed Foreign Minister Shaya Mohsin al-Zindani as Yemen's new prime minister.
- The Southern Transitional Council's December advance prompted tensions as it seized areas near the Saudi border, and earlier this month, Aidarous al-Zubaidi was dismissed amid accusations of 'high treason' amid Saudi Arabia and UAE friction.
- The PLC also moved to replace key figures, terminating Faraj Salmeen Al-Bahsani's membership and appointing two pro‑Saudi figures while Saudi Arabia granted $90m for public servants and servicemen.
- Southern forces immediately rejected uniting under a Saudi-led command, while a high-level separatist delegation said last week it dissolved in Riyadh, accusing Saudi pressure and detentions; the PLC's moves consolidate Saudi control over Yemen's decision-making.
- The reshuffle positions Saudi Arabia as consolidating control over Yemen's decision-making amid heightened tensions with the United Arab Emirates in recent months and their past coalition against Iran-backed Houthis.
