Aden Governor: Attack on Aden Airport Aims at Settling of Scores Between Coalition Militias

The attack that targeted Aden airport on Wednesday came as part of a series of settling of scores between Saudi-sponsored and UAE-backed militants, causing chaos and destruction in the southern provinces, Aden governor Tariq Salam said on Wednesday.

Governor Salam explained in a statement that the ongoing conflict between the coalition militias casts a shadow over the humanitarian and security situation in Aden.

“The attack would adversely affect the lives of citizens, which are exacerbated daily in light of the spread of diseases and epidemics and the absence of basic services,” he added.

The governor explained that the bad situation in the southern provinces requires a firm stand by all factions of society to stop the aggression conspiracies that target security and social peace in those governorates.

“Today’s explosion was not unlikely and strange for the Saudi-backed Hadi government, that can’t secure itself, so how can it guarantee the rights of its people, while its decisions are taken by the Saudi ambassador on one side and the Emirati leaders on the other,” he said.

He stressed that the countries of aggression are attempting to throw charges and double standards in order to cover the state of helplessness and weakness under false pretenses to gain the sympathy of the international community.
