  Aden

His Excellency Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council, held a telephone call with Mr. Nabil Shamsan, Governor of Taiz. During the call the President was briefed on the latest developments of the security campaign that led to the killing of the prime suspect in the assassination of Martyr Aftihan Al-Mashhari, Director General of the Cleaning and Improvement Fund in the governorate.

The President praised the efforts exerted by local authorities, security and military forces in tracking down the perpetrators, safeguarding public peace, and strengthening security and stability in the governorate. He affirmed that the achievement sends a clear message that the state and its institutions will not tolerate any crime that endangers the lives of citizens, their leaders, or community figures.

His Excellency directed the continuation of the security campaign to clear all areas suspected of harboring criminal elements and terrorist cells collaborating with the Houthi militias, and to take the necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such crimes. He further ordered that all individuals proven to be involved in covering up or facilitating the activities of these outlawed groups be held accountable.

The President of the Council also stressed the importance of honoring the security leaders who bravely and responsibly led the campaign, in recognition of their sacrifices and role in consolidating security and protecting social peace.

He reaffirmed that the state will remain faithful to the memory of Martyr Aftihan Al-Mashhari, who was a model of dedication and sincerity, and a symbol of Yemeni women’s participation in serving their communities and assuming leadership roles despite challenges. In this regard, he instructed that appropriate events be organized to commemorate her legacy and honor her inspiring role within the framework of national efforts to empower and support women. This includes advancing the handover of the site for the waste recycling plant project to the implementing party—an initiative in which the martyr had played a pioneering role in advocating and following up this strategic project for Taiz.

The President further commended the sacrifices and heroic stances of the people of Taiz in battles of liberation and resistance, and their continued contribution to strengthening the values of the state, rejecting violence, racism, and incitement rhetoric. He affirmed that the goal of Yemenis will remain focused on their greater cause of ending the Houthi militia coup, restoring state institutions, and building the secure future that all citizens deserve.
