Yemen's President,Prime Minister Resigns Thursday Jan 22,2015

Yemen's President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi resigned Thursday night Jan 22,2015 shortly after his prime minister Khaled Bahah and the Cabinet stepped down

The resignations of Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi and other officials are the latest fallout from the Houthis' move in recent days to gain power in the capital, which included kidnapping Hadi's chief of staff on Saturday Jan 18,2015 and taking over the presidential palace on Tuesday Jan 20.2015

The Cabinet and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah resigned before President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi did on Thursday night, with Bahah telling President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi in a letter that they essentially wanted to wash their hands of "destructive political chaos," an apparent reference to the deal that was to give Houthis more power.

We resigned "so that we are not made party to what is going on and what will happen," Bahah wrote in the letter, which Yemeni Information Minister Nadia Sakkaf posted on Twitter
