Yemen announces new government
Yemen, which has been in political turmoil due to clashes between rival factions, has announced the formation of a new government after weeks of unsuccessful attempts.
Key players, including the Houthi rebels, had signed an agreement last Saturday, mandating the president and prime minister to form a new technocratic government.
Five women are in the cabinet, which will be led by Prime Minister Khaled Bahhah, a former diplomat.
State television read out the names of 34 ministers in the new government on Friday, bringing in politicians including from both the Houthis and from a wing of the southern separatist Herak group.
