ADEN: Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council announced the formation of a Supreme Military Committee on Saturday.
The committee will be tasked with overseeing and preparing all military forces for the next phase of the Yemeni conflict, as government-aligned forces secured control of key camps across the country, Council president Rashad Al-Alimi said.
In a televised address on Saturday, Al-Alimi said the committee, operating under the leadership of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, will also be responsible for equipping, organizing and leading all military formations, and readying them in case the Houthi militias reject peaceful solutions.
The Yemeni leader praised Saudi Arabia for its “sincere brotherly role” in supporting Yemen’s unity, legitimacy and stability, describing the Kingdom’s backing as a lasting and responsible partnership for Yemen and the wider region.
Al-Alimi said government forces had successfully taken over camps in Hadramout, Al-Mahra, the temporary capital Aden and other liberated governorates, calling on Yemenis to unite behind efforts to restore state institutions and end the Houthi coup.
