Return of presidential expatriates

Everyone in the Arab region is making their way towards the future. The Syrians have accomplished in a few months what we in Yemen could not accomplish in a whole decade of war and conflict. Technical teams in Gaza have restored electricity to their destroyed streets, without any capabilities or money other than management and will. Sudan is moving towards liberation after two years of devastating war and a collapsing coup. What about Yemen?
Rashad Al-Alimi returned to Yemen from Riyadh as Yemeni expatriates return after a year, two years or three, and will stay in Aden at most like any expatriate who takes a vacation of no more than a month or close to it at best. However, there is an important difference between the Yemeni expatriate who returns home for weeks and Rashad Al-Alimi, as the Yemeni expatriate remains abroad in Saudi Arabia working tirelessly day and night to feed his family and preserve their dignity, while Al-Alimi remains unemployed in Saudi Arabia, and according to private information, he does not do anything at all. Al-Alimi’s situation is no different from the other seven unemployed members of the Leadership Council, headed by Al-Zubaidi, who promised the residents of Aden a hot summer without electricity and only promised them a solar station that may take years to complete and does not meet the minimum need.
As for Bin Mubarak, he too returned to Aden a few days ago after a six-month trip abroad. According to sources close to him, his inability and absence from work is no different from Al-Alimi and his seven. Bin Mubarak failed to assemble his government despite tempting them by saying that breakfast was at his place.
Bin Dagher also appeared speaking about his national bloc from Riyadh, and supporting the government of the unemployed, from his permanent vacation spot for a decade in Riyadh.
The idleness and vacuum of the Leadership Council, the government, and senior officials in the central authority and local authorities coincide to the point that every Yemeni can be certain that this government is a day and night agent of the Houthi militia, especially if we know that the Houthis are mobilizing their forces day and night on several fronts and are waging battles to control the country, from the council of the Adharit, the Rukhluwat, and the families.
What is most regrettable and truly infuriating is that these people, or as some call them the Batha Party, due to their continued residence in Saudi Arabia, have obstructed, weakened and humiliated the forces that once had the ability to move and work, especially the military, administrative and party forces inside, as these forces have merged with those residing abroad and in hotels and have also become inactive despite the dangers surrounding them from every side and threatening their existence.
