Yemen's exiled government declares liberation of Aden

Yemen’s internationally recognised government has announced the liberation of the country’s second city, Aden, following four months of intense battles between Houthi rebels and forces trying to oust them. 

Exiled Vice President, Khaled Bahah, said on his Facebook account today, that his government will try to restore life to the southern port city. 

Residents and local fighters say low-level clashes are still continuing in the Tawahi district in the west of the city to sweep the Houthis from one of their last holdouts. 

Fighters for the Popular Resistance, an anti-Houthi southern militia, have been making significant gains against their rebel opponents this week, including recapturing the provincial government headquarters in the Mualla district, opposite Aden's main commercial port.
