Aden, NewsYemen, special:
Politicians and security officials agree on the need to restructure and rebuild the security services, to confront the escalating wave of terrorism that has returned to the southern governorates in conjunction with the formation of the Presidential Command Council and its commencement of its work from the capital, Aden.
The southern cities (Aden - Shabwa - Abyan) witnessed terrorist operations targeting security and military leaders and economic facilities, the latest of which was the survival of the head of joint operations in the fourth region, Major General Saleh Hassan al-Dharhani, the day before yesterday, an assassination attempt with a car bomb in the Mualla district.
The commander of the security belt in Abyan, Brigadier General Abdul Latif al-Sayed, also survived an assassination attempt by a suicide car bomb, while a terrorist bombing targeted a shrine in the Mudiyah district of Abyan, in conjunction with the detonation of explosive devices carried out by al-Qaeda in Abyan, as well as sabotage operations on oil pipelines in Shabwa.
The escalation of the wave of terrorism has presented the Presidential Command Council with a new challenge represented in restructuring the security services in the liberated governorates and activating the intelligence apparatus to carry out monitoring and tracking operations for terrorist elements and to thwart their plans before implementing them.
Southern politician Ahmed Al-Saleh says, "If the security services are not restructured and reconstructed on sound scientific foundations and the involvement of cadres with experience and successful experience, we will remain in the same circle in which we have been living for years: targeting the country's leaders and cadres, then a media campaign denouncing and lamenting and exchanging accusations between opponents for several days. Then completely forgetting even a new operation."
While the journalist, Yasser Al-Yafei, stressed the need to find a security strategy that preserves the security of people and puts an end to the great failure and failure in securing Aden.
Security sources did not rule out the involvement and standing of partisan parties and the Houthi militia, Iran’s arm in Yemen, behind the escalation of terrorist operations that struck the southern governorates recently, pointing out that the announcement of the formation of the Presidential Command Council coincided with the escape of prominent terrorist elements and leaders from the prisons of the First Military District under the control of the Brotherhood in Wadi Hadramout, the Houthi militia released a number of others unannounced.
These sources believe that there is coordination and communication between the Houthi militia and the Islah party, the local branch of the Brotherhood in Yemen, in order to thwart all efforts of the Presidential Council and to show the liberated provinces as hotbeds of terrorist and extremist organizations.
