Denying govt's return exacerbates Aden disaster

[23/04/2020 07:33]

ADEN - SABA
Yemen's government said on Thursday the denial of its return to Aden by the separatist Southern Transitional Council is exacerbating the disaster that had just hit the temporary capital, in reference to the flash floods.

In a statement, the government said STC affiliate gangs on Thursday barred the entry of the government to Aden in "an irresponsible conduct toward the torrential rains disaster and the efforts to implement the Riyadh Agreement."

The statement said this conduct "overlooks the wretched conditions of the people who had been suffering deterioration of services since the (STC coup) of August 2019 and lastly the unprecedented flash floods."

"The impact of denying the government's return is not limited to failing the governmental and Saudi efforts to materialize the Riyadh Agreement or disrupting the state institutions … but to exacerbating the (flood) disaster."
