Yemen's technical committee on preparation for a comprehensive national dialogue conference has decided to put the issue of the armed forces on its agenda, independent media reported on Saturday.

All armed forces, which have weapons and act beyond the constitution and law, will be one of the key topics to be discussed by the committee in the next meetings, the publications reported.

Experts argue Yemen has the two most dangerous armed groups in the region: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, AQAP, and the Shiite Houthi Group.

AQAP has stepped up its suicide bombing in some parts of the country after the army drove its militants out of their strongholds in Abyan and Shabwa earlier this year. And the Houthi Group, which fought the Yemeni army six times under the former regime, has been in sporadic clashes with tribes in the far north since the very early of this year.

The two groups remain among factors affecting the democratic transition under the power-transfer deal which was brokered by the GCC countries and backed by the West after the 2011 turmoil.

Meanwhile, the committee, which has been controversial since it was formed in mid-July by President Abdrabu Mansour Hadi, held its meeting amid continuous absence of some members.

Some of the members continued to be absent in protest against reshaping the committee by Hadi who replaced some members in what appeared to be a response to criticism that some factions did not have suitable or equal representation in the committee.

Others are protesting some topics, which were added to the committee's agenda, saying the new topics should not be addressed in such an event, the dialogue conference, which should focus on the most important issues.

The comprehensive dialogue conference will take place in early November and the political forces, the public and other countries, especially the ten sponsoring the power-transfer deal, pine hope on it to lift Yemen out of the current situation.
