The capital security administration of Aden was surprised by the statements circulated by the media, attributed to the Coast Guard Authority, accusing the Southern Self-Administration of preventing it (the Coast Guard Authority) from carrying out its tasks in combating smuggling.


The Aden Security Administration confirmed, in a statement, that these allegations were not true, and considered them to fall within the framework of the fallacies and the arbitrariness of the truth, which the institutions affiliated with the legitimate government controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood have installed.

 The statement said that the Aden Security Department, through its Coast Guard Service, was and still is carrying out big tasks in securing international navigation and in combating terrorism and preventing smuggling, within the limits and capabilities available in cooperation with the brothers in the Arab coalition, a role that the Coast Guard Authority was unable to play coasts of the legitimate government.

The statement accused the Coast Guard interest of being indolent in carrying out its duties and of deliberately and more than once condoning a number of smuggling of Turkish weapons to the Yemeni coasts, despite being notified in writing by the security of Aden, as well as their neglect, and even facilitating the smuggling of weapons and al-Qaeda elements across the Yemeni coasts.

The Aden Security Administration confirmed that there is coordination between the Southern Transitional Council and the Arab alliance in the implementation of a number of tasks, including carrying out joint missions in the depth of enemy areas as well as the implementation of special tasks to combat terrorism and prevent smuggling from the southern coast.

 The Aden Security Department was surprised by the Coast Guard's insistence on handing the only boat belonging to the Authority in Aden and out of service for years, on the pretext of needing it to secure international navigation, a task originally assigned to the Arab coalition forces since the storm storm began.

The statement indicated that the leadership of the self-administration "showed the Director of the Coast Guard Department upon his visit to its headquarters its willingness to cooperate with him in the public interest, provided that this is done through official correspondence from the brothers in the coalition clarifying the nature, quality and timing of the tasks required to be implemented, which was not received until a response right Now".

 While the Aden Security Administration regretted the fallacies contained in the statements issued by the Coast Guard command, it confirmed its readiness and willingness to cooperate with the brothers in the Arab coalition to implement any tasks that guarantee the protection of international navigation and the fight against terrorism within the coalition plan.
