2 September 2009 SANAA – Yemen on Wednesday named Ali Al Bujairi to be its first ambassador to Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein’s regime.
The appointment was made in a decree reported by official Saba news agency, which gave no other details, such as when Bujairi will take up the role.
Yemen had good relations with Iraq under Saddam.
The announcement comes at a time when the Sanaa government, a US ally, is fighting a Shia rebellion in the north of the country.
