Protests against the deterioration of services in Aden ... who is responsible?

He added in statements to the episode (12/8/2020) of the "Beyond the News" program that the reasons for these crises are due to preventing the legitimate government from carrying out its duty in the city, pointing out that the de facto authority represented by the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council did not move a finger but rather acted To exacerbate problems in the city.

Commenting on the appointment of a new governor in Aden, Maher stressed that the people of Aden do not care who heads the local authority in the governorate because they want someone to provide them with basic services to live in a dignified manner, and added that the new governor of Aden Ahmed has faced difficult tasks to provide what the transitional council to which he belongs For Aden.

For his part, political analyst Osan bin Sada said that the interruption of services in Aden is not the result of the moment, but rather something that the city has been suffering from since the liberation of Aden from the Houthis in 2015, accusing the successive governments of Aden of deliberately cutting services to achieve political matters and acquiescing the southern street to stop calling for secession.

He added that the charges against the Transitional Council are incorrect because the Council declared the Autonomous Administration of the South after the government abandoned its duty towards Aden, and the UAE-backed Transitional Council held the moral and humanitarian responsibility for not providing basic services to citizens in the city.

In turn, the head of the "Hana Aden" Center for Strategic Studies, Anis Mansour, said that the demonstrators in Aden today chanted, "No alliance after today," and with these chants they hold the Saudi-Emirati coalition responsible for the deterioration of basic services in Aden, considering the Transitional Council a tool of this alliance.

He added that the rest of the governorates that are subject to the legitimate authority fully enjoy basic services, but there is a deliberate intention by the coalition to keep Aden in suffering, and the city is subject to severe polarizations by the coalition, which kept it without services, and whoever bears full responsibility in Aden is the coalition Saudi Emirati.
