Chief of the General Staff and Commander of Joint Operations, Lieutenant General Sagheer bin Aziz, stressed on Thursday the importance of enhancing readiness, discipline and preparation for the existential battle, stressing that just peace will not be achieved except by ending the Houthi rebellion.

This came during his meeting in the interim capital, Aden, with the leadership of the Abyan Axis and a number of commanders of the brigades and units affiliated with the axis, in the presence of the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Major General Ahmed Al-Basr, according to the Armed Forces Media Center.

The Chief of Staff listened to summary reports from the Commander of the Abyan Axis, Brigadier General Sand Al-Rahwa, on the conditions of the forces in the axis, the nature of their deployment in the theater of operations, and the progress of implementing training and operational plans.

He expressed pride and appreciation for the sacrifices of the leaders and heroes of the armed forces in the Abyan axis, along with the rest of the military and security formations, and their rare heroism in defending the homeland and its constants, confronting the terrorist Houthi group and confronting the terrorist groups collaborating with it.

Bin Aziz stressed the importance of enhancing readiness, discipline and preparedness in this existential battle, preserving the unity and cohesion of the armed forces, and making every effort to train and qualify its members and raise their efficiency to carry out constitutional and national tasks with all competence and bravery.

He also urged coordination and cooperation between the army and security forces to improve the level of mission implementation and effectively contribute to establishing security and stability.

The Chief of General Staff explained that the stage that Yemen is going through requires everyone to direct efforts towards the goal of restoring the state and ending the Houthi rebellion, whose evils have affected the near and far and whose threats have extended beyond the borders.
