The southern transitional council, supported by the Emirates, issued a new resolution to hold accountable all those who criticize the deteriorating services and deteriorating conditions in Aden, in the south of the country, two weeks after declaring a state of emergency and what he called the self-administration of the south.


Ahmed Saeed bin Brik, the Acting President of the Southern Transitional Council, said in a speech addressed to the security services in Aden, that the announcement of the transitional and the entitlements of the southern people is not a subject of mockery and gossip on social media.


Bin Brik, according to the document circulated by activists and journalists close to the transitional government, ordered a fine of one million Yemeni riyals broadcasting propaganda and disturbing public tranquility, in addition to a six-month prison sentence, stressing the need to inform even public transportation of this circular.


Yemeni activists said that the transitional wanted, through this decision, to stop the demonstrations and protests that took place in the past days in the city of Aden to condemn the deterioration of public services in the city controlled by the transitional.


In conjunction with the move, Yemeni sources said that the security belt forces of the transitional forces supported by Abu Dhabi deployed on Saturday night in a number of streets in Aden to prevent demonstrations, which were called by the components of the Southern Movement and societal components to denounce the deterioration of services and the spread of epidemics in the city.

Confronted with bullets,
and Yemeni sources said that the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council forces shot against a march in Aden denouncing poor services, noting that it also launched a campaign of arrests against activists in the city.

The transitional council had deployed its gunmen in the streets of the southern city of Aden in anticipation of the march.

The residents and eyewitnesses confirmed that forces backed by dozens of military vehicles deployed in the streets of Crater and on the roads leading to the bank square, the site of the launch of the march.

The head of the consultative meeting for the tribes of Abyan governorate, Sheikh Walid bin Nasser Al-Fadhli, warned against exposure to the peace process.

He said in a statement that the demands of the people are legitimate, and that the transitional council must respond to them, otherwise he should leave the city and its people’s affairs to the state institutions that he turned against.

Aden is witnessing bad conditions in all areas of service and health, and Yemeni activists circulate daily distress calls to save them from the health disaster that may be caused to them as a result of the accumulation of waste in the streets, as well as the collapse of the sewage system after the floods that swept the city during the past periods.


This comes in light of the continued closure of a number of the city's hospitals in the face of patients and suspected cases of corona, which in Aden alone amounted to more than 25 injuries out of 34 cases nationwide.
