Yemen appoints new prime minister

Yemen appoints new prime minister

Yemen's leaders have accepted the resignation of their prime minister, Salem bin Breik.

They have chosen Shaya Mohsen Zindani, who was the foreign minister, to be the new prime minister.

This change was announced by the country's news agency, Saba.

The new prime minister will now work on forming a new cabinet.

The reason for the resignation was not explained in the news.

Yemen has been dealing with a lot of tension recently, especially between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

These two countries have had disagreements about many things, including who controls parts of Yemen.

They used to work together to fight a group called the Houthis, but now they have different ideas about what to do.

This has made the situation in Yemen even more complicated and difficult for the people living there.
