SANAA - Yemen's vice president named on Sunday opposition leader Mohammed Basindwa as the country's new interim prime minister, the Saba state news agency reported, under a deal aimed at ending months of protests which have rocked the country.
Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi named Basindwa in a decree carried by the agency. This followed a decision on Friday by opposition parties to nominate Basindwa, the head of an alliance that led months of protests against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, to form a new government.
