ADEN, Oct 18 (NNN-YPA) – The Yemeni internationally-recognised government, yesterday, ordered its armed forces to raise combat readiness, for major changes in the war-torn Arab country, in the upcoming days.
The government also ordered “all the pro-government military and security units,” to “prepare for fully restoring state institutions from the grip of the Houthi militia,” said a government statement, released by the state-run Saba news agency, following a government meeting held in the southern port city of Aden.
Meanwhile, Yemeni Prime Minister, Maeen Abdul-Malik said, his government is keen to extend and expand the UN-brokered truce and supports the proposal submitted by the UN envoy to Yemen.
Earlier in the month, the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced that no agreement had been reached, to renew the truce between Yemeni warring parties, calling for continued efforts towards the aim.
The Yemeni truce went into force on Apr 2, and was later renewed twice through Oct 2.– NNN-YPA
