Yemen Govt Vows to Restore Stability after Deadly Attack
|
[AnNahar] The new power-sharing Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i government vowed on Thursday to bring stability to the war-torn country, a day after a fatal attack destroyed Aden's airport targeting cabinet members.
At least 26 people, including three members of the International Committee of the Red Thingy, were killed and scores were maimed when explosions rocked the airport as ministers disembarked from an aircraft in the southern city.
All cabinet members were reported to be unharmed, in what some ministers charged was an attack by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
 ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth . Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s.
Video footage shot by AFP shows what appears to be a missile striking the airport apron, which moments before had been packed with crowds, and exploding into a ball of intense flames.
But it is still not fully clear what caused the earth-shattering kabooms.
Foreign Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak told AFP on Thursday the new unity government is up to the challenges facing a country that has long been the Arab Peninsula's most impoverished nation.
"The government is determined to fulfil its duty and work to restore stability in Yemen," he said.
"This terrorist attack will not deter it from that."
Tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, have been killed and millions displaced in Yemen's grinding five-year war, which has triggered what the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
calls the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
The cabinet ministers arrived in Aden days after being sworn in by Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, which leads a military coalition against the Huthi Death Eaters.
Hadi fled to Riyadh after Yemen's capital Sanaa fell to the Huthis in 2014.
The new government includes ministers loyal to Hadi and supporters of the secessionist Southern Transitional Council, as well as other parties.
While all oppose the Houthis, deep divisions have grown among them, including through sporadic military festivities in and around Aden between the secessionists and forces loyal to the central government.
Saudi Arabia has been encouraging the unity government to quell the "war within a civil war" and to bolster the coalition against the Huthi Death Eaters, which control Sanaa and much of the north.
Some ministers, including Mubarak, blamed the Huthi Death Eaters for the attack but other government officials remained more circumspect.
"Information and preliminary investigations show that the Huthi militia was behind this ugly terrorist attack," Mubarak told AFP, adding that missiles were launched from rebel-held areas.
