Yemeni Forces Take Control of Mukalla

April 26, 2016 7:38 AM

Security officials in Yemen said they have retaken the southern city of Mukalla, a day after reports that Yemeni fighters killed more than 800 al-Qaida militants in a single offensive.

Yemeni forces entered Mukalla late Monday after two days of heavy airstrikes on the coastal town that al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has controlled for the past year.

On Monday, Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen said they killed more than 800 al-Qaida fighters in a single attack Sunday in the southeastern town held by the militant group for the past year.

Attack claims

The death toll claimed by the coalition could not be independently verified.

The coalition command said in a statement that several al-Qaida leaders were among the dead. It also said all militants who were not killed in the attack fled.

The military action was part of an international effort to support the Yemeni government and to exert influence over the Yemeni cities that are under the control of al-Qaida, the statement said.

The coalition also said it hopes to “allow intensifying humanitarian relief efforts in those cities and alleviate suffering of the brotherly people of Yemen.”

It is not known whether any civilians were killed during the fighting.

Yemen officials say peace talks suspended after Houthis seize base

The Yemeni government suspended direct peace talks to end the country's civil war on Sunday after the Houthi movement and its armed allies seized a military base north of the capital Sanaa, two members of the official delegation to the talks said.

The Houthi assault killed several of the soldiers defending the Umaliqa base. Unlike most of Yemen's soldiers, those at Umaliqa had refused to take sides in the war between the Iran-allied Houthis and the Saudi-backed government.

The Houthis had tolerated this neutrality until they launched a surprise push into the facility in Amran province and seized its large cache of weapons at dawn, local officials said.

"We have suspended the sessions indefinitely to protest these military actions and continued violations of the truce," one member of the government delegation to the Yemen peace talks in Kuwait told Reuters.

Yemeni Prime Minister thanks King Salman for loyal support of Yemeni people

Riyadh-King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid has provided relief assistance worth SR1.6 billion to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni citizens on the first anniversary of the establishment of the center.

Also, more than 4,000 injured Yemenis received treatment in Saudi, Jordanian and Sudanese hospitals as the Kingdom bore the treatment expenses and the center transported the injured Yemenis and those accompanying them to these hospitals.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud laid the foundation stone for the Center in Riyadh on May 13, 2015, in the presence of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and a number of representatives of international relief organizations.

The king back then ordered to allocate SR one billion for the center to be added to the $274 million provided by the Kingdom on April 18, 2015.

The aim of founding the center was clarified by King Salman when he patronized its opening and said: “King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid is an international leading center in providing relief to afflicted communities aiming at alleviating its sufferings and providing a respectable life to its people.”

HRH added, “the center shall pay full attention to relief and humanitarian needs of the, very dear to our hearts, Yemeni people.”

“The Kingdom is among the 10 top countries in the world in the value and volume of aid to alleviate the suffering of people,” according to adviser to the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah.

Last year the Kingdom occupied the 6th position on the list of 10 top countries granting developmental assistance, according to UN statistics.

The total amount spent by the Kingdom in the relief aid program during the past four decades reached $115 billion from which over 90 countries benefited.
