Khaled Bahah, also Yemen’s Vice President, and his cabinet have been in Riyadh in exile.

Sources have told Al Arabiya News that Yemen’s Vice President and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, along with seven other ministers from his cabinet, have returned to Aden on Wednesday in order to run the affairs of the country.

The sources also added that the delegation that left the Saudi city of Riyadh also included Interior Minister Abdou Mohamed al-Hudhaifi, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Mohammed Al-Tamimi, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Samira Obaid, in addition to the minister of communications and other government officials.

Government spokesman Rajeh Badi has also accompanied the high-ranking delegation back to Aden alongside the deputies of the ministries of finance and oil. The Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs Usan Al-Oud has also present on the flight back to Aden.

Baha’s return from Saudi Arabia follows that of several other Yemeni ministers who relocated to Aden from the kingdom in the weeks after the city’s recapture. Bahah made a brief visit to Aden on Aug. 1.

“Khaled Bahah and the ministers who arrived with him are in Aden to stay permanently,” Badi told Reuters.
