Yemen’s newly appointed Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed arrived at Aden International Airport on Tuesday from Saudi Arabia.

Local news outlets say that the government of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi is expected to resume work from their headquarters in the temporary capital of Aden.

Prime Minister Saeed succeeded Ahmed bin Dagher earlier this month after Hadi dismissed Dagher, accusing him of “negligence” in running the country.

Saeed was previously minister of public works and roads, which operates from Saudi Arabia, from October 2015 to May 2017. He was also part of the governmental delegation that was sent to the political consultations in Geneva and Kuwait.
