Al-Ma’ashiq Palace is the seat and residence of the President of Yemen in Aden. It is located on the waterfront in Aden, in the Crater District.[1]
History
From 1970 to 1986, the palace was a presidential reception building in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, then in 1986, Ali Salem Al-Beidh, Secretary-General of the Yemeni Socialist Party and president of South Yemen, decided to use it as a presidential palace.[2]
After the unification of the country, the palace became the presidential palace. It became the residence of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi after he left for Aden as part of the Yemeni civil war.
In April 2015, as part of the Battle of Aden, the Houthis occupied the palace, and eventually withdrew from it with the start of Operation Decisive Storm.[3]
In October 2015, the palace was renovated, after suffering damage in the fighting.[4]
