English - Monday 21 February 2022 الساعة 06:50 pmThe Presidency of the Southern Transitional Council affirmed in its meeting held today, Monday morning, its full support for everything stated in the recent statements of the governor of the capital, Aden, Mr. Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, during which he called on the equal government to assume its responsibilities of providing basic services to citizens, foremost of which is the electricity service.
In its meeting chaired by the Authority’s Secretary-General Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, the Presidency called on the government to assume its responsibilities and carry out its tasks in providing basic services to the citizen in accordance with the requirements of the Riyadh Agreement, stressing that the electricity file is a humanitarian file, and the government must assume its responsibilities in dealing with it and not employing it politically.
The authority was surprised that the government ignored and obstructed all the agreements signed between the governor of the capital and the prime minister to address the electricity file, and reiterated its support for the governor and his great efforts to stabilize the situation in the capital, Aden, and provide basic services to citizens despite all obstacles.
In the same context, the Presidency in its meeting expressed its rejection of all non-consensual appointments and unilateral decisions made by the Presidency of the Government and a number of ministers in clear violation of the Riyadh Agreement, noting that these irresponsible actions only serve the parties that seek to thwart and undermine the agreement.
In its meeting, the authority stood in front of the domestic gas crisis in the capital, Aden, and a number of southern governorates, and discussed its causes and ways and mechanisms of addressing it in order to end the crisis and provide domestic gas to citizens as soon as possible.
The meeting also touched on a number of military and security issues on the agenda and taking the necessary measures in this regard.
