Yemen's Government Just Resigned En Masse

Just before, Prime Minister Khaled Baha offered his government's resignation to Hadi, saying it did not want to be dragged into "an unconstructive political maze".
This was an apparent reference to a stand-off between Hadi and Yemen's powerful Houthi movement.
The letter from prime minister to the president came less than 24 hours after Hadi signaled he would accede to demands by the powerful Houthi movement for a bigger stake in constitutional and political arrangements.
Journalists and Yemen experts Gregory Johnson and Iona Craig concisely explained the situation:
So, to up-date: Yemen now has no president, no vice president, no prime minister and no cabinet.

But, it does have 2 ex-presidents, and multiple armed groups intent on taking as much power as possible.

Yemen's new government lasted less than three months. Houthis brought this on themselves.

Abandoning the sinking ship, Yemen's president Hadi also resigns. Yemen now has no president, no prime minister and no government.
