The escape of former Yemen's President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi from his residence in Sanaa on Saturday has created a new political reality in the Arab country, according to Yemeni analysts.
Hadi is expected to be a key player in the upcoming political developments in Yemen after being able to escape house arrest and flee to the city of Aden.
According to Yemeni analysts, Hadi may be persuaded by secessionists and powerful tribesmen in Aden, who see him as a legitimate leader, to demand to be reinstated.
The ongoing talks among the country's warring factions are also expected to collapse after Hadi's move.
Yemen's feuding political parties agreed on Friday to create a transitional council to help govern the country and allow a government to continue operating with input from rival factions after the Houthi takeover.
