Q&A: Country in turmoil
Deadly game of elite brinkmanship
US President Barack Obama has hailed the swearing in of a new president in Yemen as a "new beginning" for the country.
Mr Obama said the US would be "a steadfast partner to Yemen" in its transition to democracy.
He also offered US condolences for the deaths of 26 people in a car bombing in Yemen's southern Hadramawt province.
The attack came hours after Yemen's new President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi was sworn in, in the capital Sanaa.
Mr Hadi has replaced Ali Abdullah Saleh, who resigned after months of protest.
"Under President Hadi's leadership, Yemen has the potential to serve as a model for how peaceful transitions can occur when people resist violence and unite under a common cause," Mr Obama said.
"This week, millions of Yemenis voted for a new president and the beginning of a promising new chapter in Yemen's history.
"The Yemeni people have achieved a new beginning for their country, but much work lies ahead."
He added: "I told President Hadi that the United States will stand with the people of Yemen as they continue their efforts to forge a brighter future for their country."
