Yemeni cabinet: Country’s future will not be held hostage by Houthis

Yemen’s cabinet has affirmed that the interim capital, Aden, will remain the center of state institutions, stressing that intimidation attempts will not succeed in disrupting public life or undermining the presence of the government and its agencies.

The cabinet said these attacks are part of what it described as an escalating pattern of Houthi terrorism, which has targeted not only Yemeni state institutions but also extended to assaults on civilian sites and vital facilities in Saudi Arabia.

The Yemeni cabinet emphasized that the country’s future will not be held hostage by an armed militia that targets its own people, threatens neighboring countries’ security, and relies on violence to compensate for what it called Yemenis’ rejection of its coup project.

The cabinet reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining the operation of its institutions and upholding its presence despite security challenges and attacks, stressing that Yemen’s future must be built on restoring state institutions and consolidating security and stability.
