The Yemeni cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Khaled Bahah, has reportedly submitted its resignation amid the escalating political crisis in the Arab country.

Rageh Badi, a Yemeni government spokesman, announced that Bahah’s cabinet handed its resignation to the country embattled President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi on Thursday, without giving more details.

Meanwhile, Bahah wrote on his Facebook that he had served as Yemen’s prime minister in “very complicated circumstances,” adding that he quit his post to “avoid being dragged into an abyss of unconstructive policies based on no law.”

The new development comes a day after Ansarullah fighters of the Shia Houthi movement and the Hadi government struck a peace deal in the capital, Sana’a, controlled by the Ansarullah revolutionaries.

The nine-point deal called for the release of Yemeni Presidential Chief of Staff Ahmad Awad bin Mubarak, who has been in the Houthis’ custody since Saturday.

It also includes a clause that would respond to the Ansarullah fighters’ demands to amend the constitution and expand the Houthis’ role in parliament as well as state institutions.

Yemen’s Shia Houthi movement draws its name from the tribe of its founding leader, Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi.

The movement played a key role in the popular revolution that forced former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to step down after 33 years of rule.
