Aden, Yemen, February 7 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Presidential Governance Council (PGC) announced on Friday the formation of a new government led by Prime Minister Shaya Mohsen al-Zindani, the state-run Saba news agency reported.
The decree approving the new 35-minister cabinet was released weeks after the resignation of Salem Saleh bin Breik's government, which occurred amid deep divisions within Yemen's internationally recognized leadership.
The formation of the new cabinet is part of the GRP's efforts to strengthen political and administrative stability and restore government function in key sectors in the southern provinces, a Yemeni government official said on condition of anonymity.
"Saudi Arabia has committed to providing the new government with substantial financial and military support," he said, adding that cabinet members intend to return to Aden in the coming days to carry out their duties.
According to the source, political disputes and internal disagreements between pro-government groups have delayed the formation of a new cabinet by more than three weeks, although the PRS tasked Sh. M. al-Zindani with forming a new government back in January.
Yemen has been in conflict since 2014, following the Houthi takeover of the capital, Sana'a. A year later, a Saudi-led coalition intervened, supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government. The protracted war has led to one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.
