ABU DHABI 7th December 2015 (WAM) -- A UAE paper has said that the assassination of Governor of Aden Jaafar Mohammed Saad is yet another cowardly and heinous act by treacherous terrorists.
"If at all anything the attack will only strengthen the international community's determination to intensify united efforts amongst governments and institutions to counter such enemies of humanity" said The Gulf Today in an editorial on Monday.
The spread of violent extremist groups and their malicious and hateful ideologies pose a huge challenge to the entire global community.
"Dr. Anwar bin Mohammed Gargash Minister of State for Foreign Affairs has already made it clear that such crimes will not discourage the common resolve to restore security and stability throughout the brotherly nation of Yemen.
"As he himself stated the UAE and the Saudi-led Arab coalition will spare no effort in its quest to achieve these goals.
"The UAE Armed Forces have been playing a very prominent role since the first day of the incursion of the Houthi militias into the city of Aden and have been participating in the military operations as part of the Arab coalition right since its inception.
"It may be noted that the significant role of the Arab coalition forces in general and the role played by the UAE Armed Forces in Aden in particular had drawn praise from Brigadier General Ahmed Abdullah Turki Commander of the Third Brigade and the Commander of the western sector and the coastal strip in Yemen.
"In Brig. Gen. Turki's own words "Our Emirati brothers surprised us with their high morale and unique combat skills as they involved in various fronts. They also demonstrated high combat and military skills in the management of the operations and offensive plans that culminated with complete successes."
"It is sad that the common people in Yemen have suffered for too long in the hands of rebel Houthi and Saleh militias. The Houthi and Saleh militias also committed ignominious violations against women in Aden.
"The Voices of Women of Aden a Yemeni non-governmental coalition recently said 196 women were killed in five months during the war waged by the rebel Houthi militia and forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh on the governorate.
"Some of the women victims were killed in their houses by the rebel militia's random bombing while others were targeted in the streets by the rebel snipers or succumbed to their wounds in hospitals.
"As Yemen looks forward to a new phase of security peace and reconstruction there can be no doubt that the people of Yemen will treasure the support extended by the UAE" concluded the Sharjah-based daily.
