Aden governor reveals details of enabling terrorist groups to take control over state institutions

SANAA, Jun. 26 (YPA) – Aden Governor Tariq Salam said the state of infighting and terrorism in the occupied province of Aden is a result of enabling the armed terrorist groups represented by the Islah and the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council  (STC) militias to take control over the  state institutions and their efforts to implement the agenda of the Saudi-Emirati occupation.

Salam said in a statement to the Yemeni news agency Saba that the killing and terrorism that Aden has experienced throughout the years of occupation has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that these groups are unable to coexist with each other or manage a particular region to ensure stability in society.

He pointed out that the continuation of fighting and extremism in the occupied governorates, especially Aden, portends a difficult reality that the people of Aden or other provinces will not accept because it threatens their lives and their future and makes them a tool in the conflict.

Salam said that the people of Aden and other governorates must play a pivotal role in the battle for liberation and independence.

“They must not accept the continued absurdity and destruction imposed by these forces to serve their interests and the ambitions of US and Israel in controlling the most important outlets and ports, which is the main reason for the chaos, destruction and absurd wars witnessed in Aden today,” he concluded.
