Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi hailed Yemen’s progress against al-Qaeda, explaining that following months of a relentless nationwide anti-terror campaign, terror militants had started to emigrate toward greener pasture: Syria and Egypt, where insecurity is on the rise.
He noted, “"It’s worth mentioning that al-Qaeda is becoming less active in Yemen thanks to the efforts of Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf countries in comparison with 2011 and 2012 when al Qaeda members managed to occupy Abyan province and even create their own government there.”
According to President Hadi, Yemen armed forces would have managed since 2011 to considerably reduced al-Qaeda’s traction in the impoverished nation and thus limits its ability to do harm. He noted that the southern province of Abyan, which until 2012 was plagued by terror-related violence, had now been cleared from all al-Qaeda operatives, thanks to a clever alliance of government forces and local tribes.
“As a result of the operation against al-Qaeda, terrorist group members have begun leaving Yemen for other unstable countries such as Syria, Egypt, Maghreb countries and other regions,” he emphasized.
Making a point to underscore Yemen’ success, President Hadi warned that keeping terror militants at bay will require a global effort. He called on the international community to cooperate more actively on the ground and not simply assume that Yemen will act a barrier for the region.
