Yemeni Prime Minister Moin Abdul Malik and several members of the government returned to the interim capital of Aden on Monday as part of the implementation of the Riyadh agreement to share power with the UAE-backed southern transitional council.
Abdul Malik arrived from the Saudi capital, Riyadh, about two weeks after the signing of the Riyadh agreement, which provides for the return of the government to Aden in southern Yemen.
The Anatolia news agency reported earlier that Abdul Malik left Riyadh on a private plane accompanied by the ministers of finance, electricity, higher education, endowments and communications.
In the meantime, denied the leadership of the Fourth Brigade - the protection of facilities of the Yemeni government received the Aden International Airport and ports, institutions and government headquarters in Aden.
The brigade's leadership said in a statement that what happened was a handover between the forces of the Southern Transitional Council itself.
The statement pointed out that what is happening has nothing to do with the facilities protection brigade of the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, nor the leadership of the Saudi-UAE coalition.
The agreement signed by the Yemeni government and the Southern Transitional Council in Riyadh on November 5 stipulates the formation of a government of political competencies, not exceeding 24 ministers, that southerners receive 50% of ministerial portfolios, and provides for the reorganization of military and security forces.
The Yemeni government was forced to leave Aden after the Southern Transitional Council led a rebellion against its authorities in the interim capital and other southern provinces in August, and Saudi Arabia sponsored talks between the two sides to end the crisis.
