The enforced terminations committee – part of the NDC’s Military and Security Working Group - paid a visit to the Interior Ministry on Tuesday.

The committee’s members met with the Ministry’s leadership figures and briefed them on the working group’s responsibilities and their own committee’s tasks.

An NDC spokesperson said the committee was focused on playing a role in restructuring the security forces on national bases, and on attending to the rights of people who had been the victims of wrongful terminations.

Interior Minister Abdulqadir Qahtan gave a presentation on wrongful terminations which had occurred since 1994.

“The ministry is ready to address the issue and receive complaints from those who have been affected,” he said.

Deputy Interior Minister Muhammad Al-Sharafi expressed the Ministry’s readiness to cooperate with the Military and Security Working Group, especially through providing necessary information about enforced terminations in Yemen’s security forces.

Al-Sharafi gave a presentation on what the Ministry had done to address the issue of wrongful terminations and of returning rights to people so affected.  

Separately, the Military and Security Working Group’s intelligence systems committee paid a visit to National Security Headquarters on Tuesday.

Deputy Chief of National Security Muhammad Jumeih briefed the committee on the service’s responsibilities and characteristics. 

Committee Chairman Adel Ahmed Al Muqtadih said the goal of their visit was to become acquainted with the National Security situation. From there, he said, the working group wished to find out how it could play a key role in the development of new legislation dealing with the construction of Yemen’s intelligence services.
