Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr stressed Monday the need to unify the military and security apparatus under the ministries of defense and interior to prevent discrepancies in their duties. Presiding over a meeting for the military and security committee in the country’s temporary capital Aden, bin Daghr called for activating intelligence work to stop terrorist and criminal attacks and for tightening security in Aden and liberated provinces. Two months after leaving for Saudi Arabias capital of Riyadh, bin Daghr and a number of ministers returned to Yemen on Thursday to run the country from the southern city of Aden. Since his return, the PM promised there will be no more bloodshed or fighting in Aden. He made his remarks in reference to the unrest that unfolded in the city in January. He added that his government would exert all efforts to stop the security situation from deteriorating and to halt assassination attempts against religious and military figures. He also discussed with ministers and officials devising suitable solutions, with the help of the Arab Coalition, to achieve security and stability in Aden and nearby provinces. Bin Daghr informed the command of the committee, led by Minister of Interior Ahmed al-Maisari and acting Governor of Aden Ahmed Salimain, of President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi’s order to form a joint operational room for exchanging information and intelligence and integrating efforts to confront terrorist cells. The meeting of the military and security committee dealt also with a number of issues in Aden and other liberated provinces. It tackled the creation of an inclusive security plan for securing the provinces and their districts, as well as creating green zones for tightening security and realizing stability for ensuring relocating international organizations, diplomatic missions and investment companies. The military and security committee also approved the removal of small shops and banning the seizure of public and private possessions.
