"The announcement by (the Houthi) Ansar Allah and the General People’s Congress on the formation of a new government in Sana’a represents a new and concerning obstacle to the peace process and does not serve the interests of the people of Yemen in these difficult times," Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said in a statement. Riyadh has been the base of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi since the rebels forced him to flee his country in March 2015, and prompted Saudi Arabia to lead an Arab coalition in a military campaign against the insurgents. The flight of Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the internationally recognized president, triggered military intervention by a coalition led Saudi Arabia that has carried out thousands of air strikes on the Houthis but failed to dislodge them from Sanaa.
