Ansarullah Leader: New Government to Better Serve Yemenis

Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi made the remarks on Tuesday on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of South Yemen's independence from Britain in the 1960s.

"The formation of the National Salvation Government is of great importance as it will consolidate positions inside the country and efforts to provide service to the people," he said, according to Yemen's al-Masirah television.

"Everyone should make efforts so the Yemeni people emerge victorious in the end."
Sayyed al-Houthi also urged the public to hold rallies in support of the new administration and ignore efforts made by certain parties to create division among the nation's ranks.

Earlier on Tuesday, the new Yemeni government was sworn in after the Ansarullah movement and their allies announced its formation.

The National Salvation Government is to replace the Supreme Political Council, which was set up earlier this year by Ansarullah and the General People's Congress, the party of former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to run the country's affairs.

The new administration vowed to help UN efforts to bring about peace in the country.

The Ansarullah took control of state affairs in 2014 after former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi resigned despite their calls to review the decision, a move that created more chaos in a country already grappling with al-Qaeda terror threats.

Hadi then fled to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, before returning to the port city of Aden earlier this year.

The Ansarullah and the Yemeni army have also been defending Yemen against the deadly Saudi military campaign, which was launched in March 2015 with the aim of reinstalling Hadi, a close Riyadh ally.

Also on Tuesday, the head of the new government Abdul-Aziz bin Habtoor said the formation of the ruling structure was a vital step towards the arrangement of Yemen's internal affairs and dealing with the consequences of the Saudi aggression.
