"We got used to such regrettable, groundless comments to be stated by Abdu Janadi by which he attempt to fake facts, said Numan, adding that the JMP are awaiting an order from President Abdu Rabu Mansoru Hadi to form a preparatory committee for the national dialogue. Top government officials stated on Thursday that Hadi would soon issue republican degrees to restructure the Yemeni army in which former President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ...
