Yemen's former President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who led the country during a tumultuous period including the Houthi takeover and civil war, has died in Saudi Arabia.

Three days of mourning, with lowered flags and condolence books, was declared to commemorate Hadi, who oversaw a tumultuous period when the Houthis seized large swathes of Yemen, triggering a devastating civil war.
