Yemen crisis: President Hadi returns to Aden from exile

September 23, 2015 00:53

Yemen's president has returned to the southern city of Aden after six months in exile, his office says.

Officials at the city's airport confirmed a plane carrying Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi had landed on Tuesday.

A government source told the Reuters news agency Mr Hadi would spend the festival of Eid al-Adha in Aden before flying to New York to address the UN.

He fled Aden in late March as Houthi rebels advanced on the city, triggering air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition.

In July, pro-government militiamen and soldiers drove the Houthis and allied army units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh out of Aden with the help of coalition ground forces.
