First: to take additional military and security steps that place Aden security in the grip of public security, where all military formations leave Aden on the fronts of the fighting, to be replaced by the security services of the Ministry of the Interior (condition, public prosecutions and search agencies) Secondly: Secondly: The minutes of the agreement allow the president to start consultations to form a government of political efficiencies, as stipulated in that agreement and its political and economic annex, which is supposed to be accomplished in the coming days.
"By signing today the matrix of mutual withdrawals and the return of the forces to agreed locations, today we put the Riyadh agreement between the legitimacy and the transitional council in an advanced stage on the road to the comprehensive implementation of the agreement in the military apartment, God willing," explaining that the completion of this matrix was carried out with the kind care and close monitoring of Your Excellency, the President, the leaders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the coalition leadership, and the relevant political and military leaders.
He added, "There is no room here to talk about retreating from what was signed today, we must create new foundations for coexistence among all Yemenis in Aden, and move the city little by little from the causes of conflict and the imposition of influence and prevent the abusers from continuing to harm the lives and security of people. "
At the end of his statement, Ibn Daghr concluded, "There is a national imperative that obligates us to return the compass's direction towards overthrowing the Iranian Houthi project in our country, the project that has caused all this destruction and chaos until the Houthis return from others, and they accept solutions based on the base of the three references, preserving the unity of Yemen And reconstruct it on new federal foundations as stipulated in the outputs of the National Dialogue.
