Yemen's information minister says confronting the Houthis and improving journalists' conditions are top priorities

Yemen ·

Information Minister Salem Thabet al-Olaqi said, in his first remarks after taking the constitutional oath, that the ministry's priorities in the coming period focus on modernising official media institutions. He added that it will unify messaging against the Houthi movement and expose what he called its misleading discourse, while building media staff capacity and improving their working environment.

Yemen's conflict pits the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north, against forces loyal to the internationally recognised government.
