The National Coalition of Yemeni Parties, which includes 22 political factions, has reacted to recent events in Aden, Yemen, stating that protecting state institutions and maintaining security is a collective national responsibility. The coalition expressed sorrow over casualties that emerged from protests in the city, emphasizing that peaceful expression is a constitutionally guaranteed right. However, they warned that any escalation outside the legal framework could jeopardize political solutions during this sensitive period.

Additionally, during this tense time, Major General Falah Al-Shahrani, advisor to the commander of the Support for Legitimacy Coalition, met with several sheikhs and dignitaries from Radhafan in the temporary capital of Aden. The coalition highlighted a notable improvement in services in Aden and called for the preservation of these gains. They praised Saudi support aimed at normalizing the situation and alleviating the suffering of the local population.

This statement comes after reports of casualties during gunfire that coincided with attempts by supporters of the dissolved Southern Transitional Council to breach the gates of the presidential palace, Al-Maashiq. As the situation evolves, the coalition’s stance reflects a commitment to lawfulness while seeking to improve the conditions for residents in Aden amid ongoing political challenges in Yemen.
