The vice president made the remarks upon arriving in Marib where he chaired a meeting of senior state officials, military and political, in the province.

The vice president also thanked the local authority of Marib city, represented by governor Maj. Sultan al-Aradah, for their improvement of the local infrastructure and their efforts to accommodate newcomers in the city.
He affirmed that the government's priority is to end coup and fight terrorism as two urgent demands to rebuild the six-region federal state.
"Victory is inevitable and the government will soon be in Sana'a," he said. He underscored how the wretched humanitarian and health conditions were induced by the coup.
He thanked King Slaman's Relief Center, the UAE Red Crescent, the Yemeni-Kuwaiti Relief Agency and other international relief organizations for helping in containing the outbreak of cholera in the country. The vice president made good mention of the latest directive from the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to donate USD66 million Saudi additional grant to eliminate cholera "at a time when the coup militias confiscate relief and health aid."
The vice president warned of the serious threat the coup militias pose to international shipping and their organized terrorism in all fields.
