Time is ripe for Yemeni gov't return to Aden - Bahah

RIYADH, Feb 12 (KUNA) -- Yemeni Vice President and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah chaired a cabinet meeting here on Thursday where he asserted that the conditions are suitable for the return of the government to its provisional seat in Aden.
The government has a tendency to return fully to the southern city in order to be better able to discharge its duties and address any security challenges, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted him as saying during the meeting.
"The government is determined to adopt the necessary measures to restore role of law and stability, and bring back to normal the life in the governorates which were recently liberated from extremist groups," he pointed out.
Bahah added that the government troops and popular resistance forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, were able to notch up great victories against the Houthi rebels and improve security in large parts of the country. (end) od.gb
