| Eight years after its victory in the civil war that followed unification, Sanaa has yet to win the loyalty of its southern citizens. |
| All of this is playing out against a backdrop of ferocious political rivalries and discord in the capital of Sanaa. |
| There are reports in Aden Post that Iranian crews and technicians have been sent to Sanaa International Airport, as effective safeguards of YAF air assets. |
| Early on Friday, the US embassy in Sanaa shifted from its months of silence on Sharif, who has been unavailable to his lawyers since 27 February. |
| He fled in March, after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels seized the capital Sanaa in September and then thrust into central and south Yemen. |
| For fear of reprisal, the Americans this week closed their embassy in Sanaa to the public. |
