The Abdulghani Cabinet was the second Council of Ministers of the Republic of Yemen following the 1994 civil war. It was led by Prime Minister Abdul Aziz Abdul Ghani of the General People's Congress and served from 1994 to 1997. Abdul Ghani, a veteran politician, had previously served as the last Prime Minister of the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) prior to unification in 1990. [1] [2]

Contents

The cabinet was formed in the aftermath of the 1994 civil war, which ended with the defeat of southern secessionist forces and the consolidation of power by President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his northern allies. The government was tasked with restoring political order, rebuilding national institutions, and integrating the state apparatus under the sole authority of the central government in Sanaa. The government remained in office until it was succeeded by the Bin Ghanem Cabinet in 1997.
