United States Ambassador to Yemen

United States Ambassador to Yemen

Since the diplomatic recognition of North Yemen 1946 following World War II, the United States of America has appointed an official ambassador to Yemen. Prior to 1990, there was a separate United States Ambassador to North Yemen and United States Ambassador to South Yemen.

On May 22, 1990, the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen) united and formed a united Republic of Yemen. The existing U.S. embassy in San'a became the embassy for the new republic. At that time there was no U.S. ambassador to South Yemen, so the then-current ambassador to North Yemen Charles Franklin Dunbar, continued to serve as the ambassador to the united Yemen until the end of his tour in 1991.
