Aden, NewsYemen:
On Tuesday, five members of the new government left Aden airport for Cairo, awaiting arrangements for their travel to Riyadh to take the constitutional oath, in front of the interim president, Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
According to Al-Ayyam newspaper, the five ministers are: Minister of Justice Bader Al-Arrada, Minister of Transport Abd Al-Salam Hamid, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Muhammad Al-Zawari, Minister of Civil Service and Insurance Abdel Nasser Al-Wali, and Minister of Higher Education and Technical Khaled Al-Wasabi.
The newspaper said that the ministers will be subject to the new Saudi arrangements regarding the return of the spread of the Corona virus, as it closed its borders on Tuesday, and imposes a three-day ban on arrivals to it.
Yesterday's news revealed that President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi refused the idea of returning to Aden and taking the oath there. The Saudi ambassador, Muhammad Al Jaber, said Saturday that "the government will return to Aden a week after the arrangements are completed."
It is expected that the new government formed under the Riyadh Agreement will take the constitutional oath before President Hadi, next Thursday or Sunday, while awaiting its return to the capital, Aden.
