A main street in the capital Sana'a is to be renamed after the late politician Muhammad Abdul-Malik al-Mutawakil who was assassinated by unknown gunmen in November.
President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi has ordered that al-Zeraah street to be renamed for al-Mutawakil to honour such "a national figure and a great intellectual pioneer."
Two gunmen on a motorcycle gunned down al-Mutawakil on the same street on November 2.
