Yemen announces formation of military council

Yemen’s vice president announced Sunday the formation of a military council of 14 members whose duties will be to stabilize the country and reform the military, CNN reported, citing a senior official in the vice president’s office.

Vice President Abdu Rabu Hadi issued a presidential decree on the council formation, the official said, putting an end to speculation that a power-transfer deal signed last month would face major obstacles during its first 30 days.

Council members are evenly divided between the ruling party and the opposition, with each side receiving seven seats in the council.

Among the members of the council will be Yemen’s ministers of defense and interior.
