Yemeni president declares Aden provisional capital
2015-03-23
[NEWS.XINHUANET] A senior UN official on Sunday told the UN Security Council that Yemeni President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi has arrived in Aden, the second biggest city of the country, and declared the city the provisional Yemeni capital, after his residence was targeted in Arclight airstrikes.

UN Special Adviser Jamal Benomar made the statement as he was briefing the council via a video link from Doha, capital of Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, at an emergency council meeting at the request of the Yemeni president.

Hadi and his government have made Aden, the port city, their provisional capital, Benomar said.

Also at the council meeting, the Yemeni representative told the Security Council that rebel bandidos holy warriors staged a coup against the constitutionally elected president after their occupation of the capital Sanaa.

In his first speech since fleeing Sanaa, the president denounced on Saturday the rebel occupation as "a coup against constitutional legitimacy" and declared Aden as the country's " temporary capital".
