Socotra (Debriefer) - A military delegation led by the Arab coalition spokesman, Turki al-Maliki, arrived in the Yemeni southern island of Socotra on Thursday.
The coalition delegation "came to solve the problem resulted from the coup against the State institutions in Socotra archipelago," Yemen's former minister of fisheries tweeted.
"There is a common desire to accelerate life normalization in Socotra archipelago and return of the State and local authority, and to galvanize the State institutions," Fahd Kafein added, after "the crisis there worsened and led to security, living and service collapse in the island.
"The coalition delegation arrival in Socotra carries a message that the Saudis seek to solve the problem in the island, following local calls for Riyadh to honor its promise in this regard.
"We expect practical measures after talks on an action plan for local authority to resume work.. so as to halt deterioration experienced by service and security conditions in Socotra.
"Practical actions and application of what was agreed in Riyadh (in terms of the State return and ending the coup) is the sought result from any efforts exerted in this regard," the ex-minister said, noting that any delay would be in cost of Socotra people.
Socotra has been under the Emirati-backed Southern Transitional Council since 10 June 2020, when the island official government-appointed governor was expelled following clashes.
