Perspective
In 2012, after Saleh stepped down as a result of the Yemeni Revolution, part of the wider Arab Spring protests, in a political transition plan backed by Gulf states, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi became the interim president and oversaw a national dialogue to draft a more inclusive, federal constitution. In 2014 the Houthis rapidly advanced south from Saada and seize Sanaa on 21 September with help from Saleh. In 2015, Hadi tried to announce a new federal constitution. The Houthis, who opposed the constitution, arrested him and forced him to resign. He escaped to Aden and declared it as the interim capital. He also asked the international community to intervene, triggering the Saudi led Arab military coalition intervention.[2] Some analysts considered the Hadi-led government to be a satellite regime of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.[3][4][5][6]
As part of the Yemeni civil war, the cabinet authority is contested by the Houthis, who took over the capital Sanaa in an armed rebellion against the government and formed the Supreme Revolutionary Committee and Supreme Political Council in 2015. President Hadi was placed under house arrest, but managed to escape to his hometown of Aden, which he declared as the temporary capital, before moving to Riyadh, earning his government the disparaging nickname of the "hotel government".[7][8] The United Nation Security Council resolution 2201 denounced the actions of Houthis. UN security council's resolution 2216 declared that it considers the Hadi-led government as the "legitimate Government of Yemen" and denounced what it described as the "unilateral actions taken by the Houthis".
Mansur Hadi resigned on 7 April 2022, after transferring his presidential powers to the eight-member Presidential Leadership Council (PLC). PLC officially assumed power on 17 April 2022. The PLC's chairman, Rashad al-Alimi, subsequently became the president of the Republic of Yemen.[9]
