( CNN ) Four Gulf countries now have opened embassies in Aden , Yemen , where President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi fled after being deposed . The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait opened their embassies Friday , two Foreign Ministry officials who did n't want to be named because they are connected to Hadi told CNN . The move came one day after the Saudis and Qataris shifted their embassy staffs there . Sanaa is Yemen 's capital , but Houthi rebels have controlled the city for months . Hadi escaped a week ago after being under house arrest for a month following his resignation under pressure from the rebels . After fleeing to Aden in the south , he released a statement declaring he is still President of Yemen , and calling all political decision made since September illegal and invalid . One of the Yemeni officials said that Egyptians will open an embassy in Aden in the coming days . The Saudi ambassador to Yemen said Friday : `` The security situation is calm in Aden and it 's very difficult for us to resume our embassy operations in Sanaa . '' Political negotiations came to an end on Friday after a majority of the political parties withdrew from the United Nations-led talk with the Houthis . `` Talks must take place where there is no militant threat , '' said AbdulAziz Jubari , the secretary-general of the Justice and Building party . Jamal Benomar , the U.N. envoy to Yemen , visited Hadi in Aden on Wednesday and said in a statement that Hadi is still the constitutional president of Yemen . He stressed that Hadi must be part of the solution in Yemen and not be excluded . Benomar said that Hadi refused to currently be involved in the political talks unless they are moved from Sanaa . `` Hadi agrees that the Yemeni crisis must be solved solving through dialogue , '' Benomar said . The militants tightened their grip on power over the past month . Hadi resigned while still in Sanaa but rescinded after fleeing the capital . Houthis are Shiite Muslims who have long felt marginalized in the majority Sunni Muslim country . They had been at war with the central government for more than a decade , but their entry into Sanaa in September brought things to a head , sparking battles that left than 300 people dead before a ceasefire was agreed to that month . Houthis then pressured Hadi to step down last month after he refused to agree to certain political demands . The Houthis ' takeover of Sanaa stunned governments of Western nations , which pulled out diplomatic staff this month . The United States , along with most European and Gulf countries , suspended operations in their embassies in Yemen amid growing unrest .
Yemeni officials say four nations have moved their operations from Sanaa to Aden . The move comes as the United Nations is trying to get aid into Yemen and a Saudi-led coalition of Arab countries has been bombing Houthi rebels in Yemen. Political talks hit a snag .
