Summary
Ahmed Bin Mubarak, the premier of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, announced his resignation, citing an inability to fully exercise his powers amid ongoing disputes with Rashad al-Alimi, head of the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council. Bin Mubarak’s aspirations for greater authority and his suspension of several ministry budgets fueled tensions, leading to a power struggle that eroded trust within the government. His departure may help ease internal divisions and is viewed as a necessary step towards restoring cohesion in a government struggling amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
