ADEN, Yemen (AP) — Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, the internationally recognized president of Yemen who led a fractured government mostly from exile for eight years as the country descended into civil war and famine before stepping down in 2022, died on Thursday. He was 80.
State-run Yemeni TV said that he died at his residence in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, but gave no other details.
Rashad al-Alimi, the head of the Presidential Leadership Council — the leadership body of Yemen's internationally recognized government — said Hadi believed in the Yemeni people's "right to a just state, freedom and human dignity."
