Hadi Arrives in Aden

Also on Tuesday, Yemen’s former president, Abd Rubbuh Mansur Hadi, reportedly returned to Yemen after fleeing the country some six months ago.

Hadi arrived on board a Saudi aircraft in the southwestern port city of Aden, which fell to his loyalists back in July.

The country’s former prime minister, Khaled Bahah, and seven members of Hadi’s cabinet also returned to Aden last week.

Hadi and his ministers fled the country after the Ansarullah fighters captured the capital in September 2014.

Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 – without a United Nations mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and restore power to Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

According to a report released on September 19 by the Yemen’s Civil Coalition, over 6,000 Yemenis have so far lost their lives in the Saudi airstrikes and a total of nearly 14,000 people have been injured; Press TV reported.
