Yemen president retracts resignation: aide

Summary

Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi has retracted his resignation after escaping house arrest in the militia-controlled capital, an aide said on Tuesday.

An aide to Hadi said he had sent a letter withdrawing the resignation to Yemen’s parliament, which had never met to formally accept it.

Prime Minister Khalid Bahah had tendered his resignation at the same time as Hadi.

Hadi is a southerner who spent nearly three decades in the north, serving as defense minister and vice president.
