Mohammed Abdullah al-Anani’s appointment comes as Hadi’s Saudi-backed government, which broadly controls most of southern Yemen, works to revive oil production and exports, devastated by years of civil war. A Saudi-led Gulf coalition is fighting to oust the Houthi movement that has taken over most of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, and restore Hadi to full control. The Western- and Gulf-backed president also appointed Naguib al-Aoug as minister of planning and international cooperation, as well as a new justice minister, SABA reported. The ministers will join the cabinet of Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, whom Hadi appointed on Oct. 15. (Reporting by Nayera Abdallah; Editing by Kevin Liffey)

Peter, it does not state that the old Oil minister has been dumped. In fact maybe this initial report is short on info. Look forward to more clarity. Good find, but, and so quick!
