Yemen appoints governors for Al-Bayda and Al-Jawf, which are partly controlled by the Houthis

Yemen ·

Two republican decrees issued on Sunday appointed new governors for Al-Bayda in the centre and Al-Jawf in the north, both areas partly controlled by the Houthis, amid ongoing military escalation between government forces and the group. The state news agency Saba reported that Hussein al-Ajji Ali al-Awadhi was appointed governor of Al-Bayda.

Yemen has been divided since 2014, when the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) took control of Sanaa and much of the north, while the internationally recognised government holds other areas.
