Riyadh (Debriefer) Yemen lives a very complicated period, the war-torn country's prime minister said Wednesday, as the "State-restoration battle suffered some divisions in the last year and a half, particularly after August 2019," when the Southern Transitional Council forces seized Aden.
The current is a power-sharing government comprising different parties that are present on the ground, but it has clearly unified goals, exceptional duties to fulfill and wide lines to follow, Maeen Abdulmalek added in televised interview displayed by Yemeni official channels.
The newly-formed cabinet, with all its members, will be present in the interim capital, he said without telling when.
The government has no magic solutions, the PM added, as the past period saw decline in services and inflation that began with the coup, but worsened by the war.
"The challenges are huge, economic situation is difficult, inflation is weighty and the people deeply suffer because of the worsening public services," he complained.
Discussion is underway on the Saudi and international support for the Central Bank of Yemen, and on other issues pertaining to food security and electricity, he added.
"In our battle to end the coup, you need to have an available model for the State and guaranteeing institutions, and this is hard now. The institutions are not in their normal condition and need tangible plans," Abdulmalek said, noting that all the issues were dependent on the government formation.
"The world pressed for the new government to be there on the ground, as it is the actual partner for the international community in reforming the economic situation and curbing any humanitarian crises."
On 18 December, the Yemeni President Hadi decreed the formation of the new government equally shared by the war-torn country's southern and northern provinces.
