Nayef al-Bakri (Arabic: نايف صالح البكري; born 29 May 1975) is a Yemeni politician who serves as minister of youth and sports in the cabinet of Prime Minister Khaled Bahah. He was appointed in mid-September 2015, succeeding Rafat Al Akhali.[2]
Bakri served briefly as Governor of Aden in 2015. He previously acted as deputy to Governor Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour. After bin Habtour fled Aden amid intense fighting between pro-Houthi fighters and government loyalists, Bakri became the head of the local Resistance Council. He was appointed governor in July.[3] During his brief tenure as governor, Bakri was considered controversial, but he was very popular with anti-Houthi fighters who defended the city during its months-long assault. After he was tapped to join the Bahah cabinet, members of the Southern Movement protested in Aden, calling for his return.[2] [4]
Bakri's eventual replacement as governor, Major General Jaafar Mohammed Saad, was assassinated in December 2015.[5] [6]
He was a former member of Al-Islah,[7] until he resigned in April 2015.[8]
