Presidential advisor: The security situation in Aden is stable and supports the return of institutions
A Yemeni presidential advisor, in exclusive statements to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, affirmed that the security situation in Aden , the country's interim capital, is witnessing significant and tangible stability, denying rumors that attempt to undermine efforts to normalize the situation. This statement comes at a time when the legitimate government and the Presidential Leadership Council are striving to strengthen the presence of state institutions and consolidate security and stability in the liberated areas.
The importance of stability in Aden as a temporary capital
The city of Aden holds immense strategic and political importance as the temporary capital of the Republic of Yemen and the seat of the internationally recognized government. Since its liberation from the grip of the Houthi militias, the city has faced numerous security and service-related challenges. However, sustained efforts over the past years, supported by the Saudi-led coalition backing the legitimate government, have resulted in a marked improvement in the security situation. Stability in Aden is the cornerstone of state restoration, enabling ministries and government institutions to carry out their duties and provide services to citizens, as well as facilitating the work of diplomatic missions and international humanitarian organizations.
The role of the Presidential Leadership Council in enhancing security
Since the formation of the Presidential Leadership Council, security in Aden and the liberated governorates has been a top priority. The Council has worked to unify military and security formations under the umbrella of the Ministries of Defense and Interior, as part of the efforts of the Supreme Military and Security Committee. These steps aim to end inter-factional tensions, combat terrorism, and address the security lapses that have been hindering development. Observers note that the current harmony among the political factions within the Presidential Council has positively impacted the security situation in Aden , bolstering public confidence in the state's ability to enforce law and order.
Economic and social implications of stability
The security situation is inextricably linked to the economic situation; security stability is a fundamental prerequisite for attracting investment and reviving the stalled economy. The people of Aden, and Yemen in general, hope that this stability will lead to an improvement in the exchange rate of the national currency, the provision of essential services such as electricity and water, and a reduction in unemployment. Furthermore, improved security will enhance activity at the port and airport, two vital arteries of the Yemeni economy, facilitating the unimpeded flow of goods and humanitarian aid to all Yemeni governorates.
Regional and international dimensions
Regionally and internationally, the stability of Aden is seen as a vital indicator of the success of peace efforts in Yemen. The international community is closely monitoring developments in the interim capital, as the successful model of governance in liberated areas is considered an incentive to advance the comprehensive political process. Recent statements by the presidential advisor reassure international partners and donors that Aden is a safe and suitable environment for implementing sustainable development projects, and not merely an arena for conflict, thus paving the way for increased international support for Yemen in its current crisis.
