Aden (Debriefer) - The Yemeni new government will be in Aden within days, spokesman for the government said Sunday, as other official sources expect the cabinet arrival in the next 48 hours to commence its duties.
The government will hold its first meeting chaired by Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalek in Aden within days, Rajih Badi added in remarks to the Saudi Okadh paper.
According to local sources, large Yemeni-Saudi military reinforcements arrived on Saturday at the Sira-based presidential palace to secure the government return to the interim capital.
On Saturday, the government was sworn in before Yemen's President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi in the Saudi capital, in absence of the local administration minister, Hussein al-Aghbari, who is nominated by the Nasserite party and refused to be sworn in abroad.
The new government is required to finalize demilitarization of Aden, President Hadi said after the swearing-in, noting that troops should be pulled out and weapons collected.
The cabinet needs to hold its first official meeting urgently in Aden to tell the Yemenis and the world that "it's determined to tackle war impacts, boost sustainable peace opportunities and confront the Houthi coup," he added.
