Yemen’s former president Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has died in Saudi Arabia, a source in the Yemeni presidency tells AFP.
Hadi, who was in his eighties, “died in the Saudi capital following a sudden health crisis,” the source says, requesting anonymity.
Hadi fled to Saudi Arabia in 2015 when civil war erupted between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who had forced the government from the capital Sanaa, and a Saudi-led coalition.
