SMA NEWS – Aden the Capital

The security committee in the capital, Aden, held a meeting on Wednesday, chaired by the governor of the capital, the head of the committee, Ahmed Hamed Lamlas, and in the presence of all its members.

At the beginning of the meeting, the governor briefed the members of the security committee on the reality of the service situation in the capital, its developments, and the efforts of the local authority in dealing with it, indicating the continuation of those efforts in coordination with the government and the need to achieve results that would improve the performance of service facilities and the reflection of their performance on the services provided to citizens.

The governor appreciated the position of the citizens and their demand to provide services, praising the responsible dealings with them by the security authorities that worked to protect these peaceful protest activities and preserve their integrity, calling at the same time citizens not to heed suspicious and politicized calls that seek to exploit the citizen’s need and demands and harness them for other purposes that the citizen has no interest in.

The meeting discussed the points included in its agenda, most notably the review of the minutes of its previous meeting and the level of implementation of its outputs and the reasons for the slow implementation of some of the security committee decisions taken in its previous meetings.

The meeting approved the preparation of an awareness-raising media campaign that precedes the implementation of the security campaign targeting unnumbered cars, carrying weapons in public, and assigning the Fourth Military Region and the Military Police to seize violating military and security vehicles and support the security forces in seizing civilian cars that are not numbered and tightening inspection procedures at the security checkpoints linking Aden and the neighboring governorates, and completing the equipment for the operations room, raising the requirements and needs for its completion and speeding up the launch of its work.

The Security Committee also affirmed supporting the efforts of the Electricity Corporation in the campaign to remove random connections and directing the Office of Endowments and Guidance to discuss preachers and imams of mosques to intensify the process of educating young people about adopting moderation and moving away from extremism, in addition to communicating with the head of the criminal prosecution about speeding up in making decisions in criminal cases, and continuing efforts to follow up the establishment of a monitoring system that includes all districts of the capital.
