Saudi rallies around exiled Yemen leader after UAE-backed separatists seize Aden.
ADEN — Saudi Arabia threw its weight behind Yemen's exiled president, as UAE-backed southern separatists who took over the port of Aden held strong against Riyadh's calls to vacate government sites.
Riyadh made clear it still backs the government, led by exiled President President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who has mainly lived in Saudi Arabia since fleeing Yemen's capital in 2014. "It is quiet now but people are still worried. We don't know where matters are heading," Aden resident Adel Mohammed told Reuters on Monday. He said power and water supplies had been restored, but could be disrupted again if the crisis continues.Zubaidi said the separatists, who want an independent south Yemen, had no choice but to seize Aden following a deadly Houthi missile strike on southern forces earlier this month.
