President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council, has directed the commemoration of the late martyr Aftihan Al-Mashhari.

He also ordered the continuation of the security campaign in Taiz Governorate to apprehend those involved in assassinations and acts of terrorism.

The directives call for clearing the city of criminal hideouts and cells collaborating with the Houthi militias to strengthen state presence and safeguard public order in the governorate.

The instructions were conveyed in an official internal directive addressed to the Governor of Taiz, Chairman of the Security Committee, Mr. Nabil Shamsan.

These instructions followed the funeral of the late Director General of the Cleanliness and Improvement Fund, Aftihan Al-Mashhari, who was laid to rest in her hometown in Al-Ma‘afir District on Tuesday.

The presidential directives included the necessary measures, in coordination with the government and all relevant authorities, to commemorate the martyr Aftihan Al-Mashhari. This will include naming the street where she was assassinated after her.

The directives further stipulated the designation of an annual “Aftihan Day” for cleanliness and community initiatives in the governorate, with the participation of schools, universities, youth groups, and civil society organizations. In addition, an annual award will be established in her name to honor the model employee in municipal and environmental services. The award will be awarded in recognition of the values of dedication and commitment to public service.

The directives also emphasized the continuation of the security campaign to clear all areas suspected of harboring criminal elements.

They stressed the need to prevent the recurrence of such crimes and to hold accountable all those proven to be complicit in sheltering or facilitating the activities of outlawed groups.

Earlier on Tuesday, the President of the Presidential Leadership Council spoke with Governor Nabil Shamsan to review the latest developments in the governorate. He also made a phone call with Mr. Mohammed Ahmed Al-Mashhari, father of the martyr, to extend his deepest condolences to him and his family. He prayed to Almighty God to bestow His vast mercy and forgiveness upon the late Aftihan, who was known for her competence and dedication, and to grant her family patience and solace in their profound loss.
