Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi hasa appointed a new vice-president and prime minister, sacking current prime minister Khaled Bahah, reports Al-Arabiya.
In a major shake-up of senior officials on Sunday night, Hadi named as the new vice president General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, a politically powerful army general who split violently with former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2011 during the Arab Spring protests that eventually ousted Saleh.
The new prime minister, Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr, was a former official in Saleh's General People's Congress party before joining Hadi's camp.
