Yemen Government, Separatists Sign Power-Sharing Deal

Both the government and the separatists are part of a Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthi rebel group.
The United Arab Emirates backed the southern separatists. The UAE has been a key member of the anti-Houthi coalition. Its support for the separatists had threatened to further complicate the dangerous situation throughout Yemen.
The Houthis seized the Yemeni capital in 2014, followed by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes against the rebels. The strikes have obliterated entire civilian neighborhoods, killing thousands and aggravating what was already a humanitarian crisis in one of the world’s poorest nations.
