Yemen’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi on Sunday relieved prime minister and vice president Khalid Bahah of his duties due to what he called government “failures”.
Bahah’s surprise dismissal comes just a week ahead of a UN-brokered ceasefire planned between Yemen’s warring parties, which is expected to pave the way for peace talks in Kuwait on April 18.
Hadi appointed Ahmad Bin Dagher, former secretary general of the General People’s Congress party to which the president once belonged, as prime minister, according to a decision published on the official sabanew.net website.
He appointed veteran General Ali Mohsen Al Ahmar as vice president, and a presidency source said that Bahah would now serve as a presidential advisor.
Hadi said the decision to replace Bahah was “due to the failures that have accompanied the performance of the government during the past period in the fields of economy, services, and security”
