The Yemeni President ‘Abd-Raba’ Al-Mansour Hadi has announced his resignation following the capture his Presidential Palace in the nation’s capital of Sanaa on Monday. Hadi turned in his resignation to the Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Baha’, with the statement “I do not want to be dragged into a political maze.”

Hadi was sworn into office on February 25th, 2012 – becoming the 2nd President of the Republic of Yemen after the long reign of his predecessor ‘Ali ‘Abdullah Saleh. His presidency was marked with turmoil since his inception in office – his departure leaves the Yemeni Armed Forces without a supreme commander.

The rebel group Houthis agreed to a temporary ceasefire with the Yemeni Armed Forces, following their capture of the Presidential Palace. The group is now in negotiations with the Armed Forces in order to obstruct any form of secession that once brought the young nation into a civil war.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
