Yemen exile government returns to Aden

Yemen's Prime Minister in exile returned to the port city of Aden on Thursday (September 22nd) along with seven ministers, AFP reported.

Prime Minister Ahmed bin Dagher flew from Riyadh to Aden, where he said upon arrival that his return is "final".

The voyage is the first since bin Dagher's predecessor, Khaled Bahah, fled Aden last October after surviving a bombing attack, only weeks after he had returned with a handful of ministers.

Yemeni forces backed by the coalition pushed the Houthis and their allies out of Aden and four other southern provinces in the summer.

President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi remains in exile in Riyadh, and has not made any suggestion of returning to Yemen soon.

Bin Dagher said his return follows a decision by Hadi to move the central bank from opposition-held Sanaa to Aden.

His government has 32 ministers. Some are expected to move from Riyadh to Marib.
