DUABI: Members of Yemen’s newly formed government took the oath of office on Monday, as the cabinet moves to begin work amid efforts to reflect shifting political realities across the country.
The new lineup, announced by Prime Minister Shaea’ Al-Zandani, assigned several key sovereign and revenue-generating ministries to figures from Yemen’s southern and eastern governorates.
Strategic portfolios, including finance, oil and minerals, transport, public works, electricity, and planning, have been handed to ministers from those regions.
The appointments are seen as an effort by the government to project inclusivity and national partnership, while responding to long-standing regional grievances at a critical stage in Yemen’s political process.
