Yemen socialist party leader to head new govt.: Sources

29 Oct 2013 - 15:43


Yemen�s Socialist Party�Secretary General Yasin Said Numan is reportedly due to head Yemen�s new government after the term of national reconciliation government comes to an end.
According to unnamed sources, the new government would introduce Numan as Yemen�s prime minister.

Sources also said that Saleh Habra, the Houthis' spokesman, will be appointed as Numan�s deputy in internal affairs.

However, Numan has rejected the reports, saying that establishing a new government is only possible based on the results of talks in the country.

Yemen�s former dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled Yemen for 33 years, stepped down in February 2012 under a US-backed power transfer deal in return for immunity, after a year of mass street demonstrations demanding his ouster.

His vice president, Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, who is a UK-trained marshal, replaced him on February 25, 2012 following a single-candidate presidential election backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia.
