The command of the 4th Brigade (Protection of Facilities), in a statement, denied the authenticity of the news that their forces took up the protection tasks of Aden International Airport, ports, institutions and government buildings in the interim capital Aden.
The Riyadh agreement stipulates that all facilities and government institutions in Aden shall be taken over by the Facility Protection Forces (FPF) and shall be responsible for securing them.
The statement stressed the inaccuracy of those news and information, describing it as counterfeit and intended to mislead public opinion.
stressing that these lies underscore the lack of seriousness of the transitional council backed by the UAE in the implementation of what it is, in accordance with the Riyadh agreement.
He pointed out that what happened on the ground is exchanging of roles (receipt and delivery) between forces belonging to the transitional.
The statement warned that these steps, which take place unilaterally without adhering to what has been agreed in Riyadh, may cause to undermine the agreement.
