ADEN, Yemen — After years of civil war, the Yemeni government has declared an economic war on Houthi rebels.
Yemen's internationally recognized government, headed by Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr, is shifting its treasury temporarily to the Central Bank branch in Aden, hoping to stem the flow of money he believes is funding the rebel's war efforts. The government's administration moved to Aden when the Houthis took control of Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and the Central Bank there in September 2014.
