Yasin Said Numan (Arabic: ياسين سعيد نعمان; born 1948)[1] is the former General Secretary of the Yemeni Socialist Party from 2005 to 2015. He is the current ambassador of Yemen to the United Kingdom since 2015.[2]
Numan joined the Yemeni National Front, which later became the Yemeni Socialist Party, when he was 17.[3] In 1986 he became the Prime Minister of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen from February 1986[4] until Yemeni unification in 1990, under Chairman Haidar Abu Bakr al-Attas, who preceded Numan as Prime Minister. Numan had previously been Minister of Fisheries and Deputy Prime Minister.[4]
After the Unification of Yemen Numan became the interim Speaker of Parliament, until the parliamentary election of 1993[5] when he was replaced by Abdullah ibn Husayn al-Ahmar.[3] He became the General Secretary of the Yemeni Socialist Party in 2005.[6]
During the Yemeni Revolution of 2011, Numan was critical of President Ali Abdullah Saleh and supported a plan by the GCC for Saleh to step down.[7] He escaped from an assassination attempt in August 2012; he was one of several Socialist Party politicians targeted during 2012.[8]
