As a bustling global city, Yemen‘s interim capital, Aden, enjoys relative calm and a decrease in violence, despite the flood of rumors spread by the Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood.

For two years, Aden has experienced no significant security incidents or clashes, a fact recently confirmed by the international organization Médecins Sans Frontières, alongside intense efforts by authorities to prepare the city for the work of embassies, consulates, and international organizations.

These efforts culminated in 70 organizations establishing their main offices in Aden, out of 107 international NGOs that have been licensed by Yemen’s internationally recognized government to operate in the country. Recently, Aden has also seen political movements by many foreign ambassadors.

Preparations and Arrangements

Aden is now seen as a realistic model for recovery and the return of stability and peace to this country, as well as a center for managing the liberated provinces, all of which are continuously threatened by the Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Captain Yasser Al-Sabihi, a leader in the Security Belt forces in southern Yemen, stated that “Aden has experienced remarkable security stability over the past period, which no one can ignore or deny,” despite a few isolated incidents that had no major impact.

The Yemeni official said that “this stability is due to political stability and the consensus among the political forces in the country, which has positively affected the overall situation in Aden, despite the Houthi and Muslim Brotherhood attempts to spread chaos through malicious rumors.”

Captain Al-Sabihi revealed ongoing “preparations and arrangements to enable Aden to receive and resume the work of Arab and foreign embassies and consulates from within the city,” emphasizing that the situation is heading toward normalization despite all the conspiracies and threats aimed at Aden.

He added that all of this is the natural result of decreased violence and improved security in Aden, which has always been and will remain a city of peace and coexistence.

Médecins Sans Frontières confirmed that the city is experiencing relative calm and a reduction in violence, noting that the surgical center it manages has not received any new injuries from security incidents or clashes, unlike 10 other provinces where violence is still active.

Exaggerated Media Hype

Observers believe that Aden remains under threat from those targeting the liberated and southern provinces, particularly the “enemies of the successful security experience,” who attempt to sabotage the city’s recovery efforts.

Aden has been continuously subjected to media attacks, to the point where platforms and activists specifically target its residents to deny or downplay any achievements, whether in security, development, or services, as part of a disinformation campaign accompanied by rumors aiming to undermine the city.

According to southern Yemeni politician Saleh Baras, Aden has been the target of “media attacks, whether through online spaces or traditional media, with coverage deliberately exaggerating any minor incidents in the capital.”

Baras explained that this media coverage is absent when it comes to crimes or events in Houthi-controlled areas, where media silence prevails, as seen in the recent events involving the Qayfa tribes in Al-Bayda province, where the Houthis committed massacres.

He emphasized that “the smear campaigns against Aden are part of a war, not unlike a military war, waged by Houthi and Brotherhood media; their goal is to erase the model of life in the south and depict it as politically, administratively, and securely incapable.”

Media and political activist Alaa Hanash confirmed this by saying that “what is happening in Aden or other southern provinces is natural after several years of liberation from the Houthi militias and cleansing of terrorist groups.”

Hanash said that media attacks are often led by parties that have lost their positions and influence in the city, mobilizing their platforms and activists, including Houthi and Brotherhood groups, known for their hostility toward southern Yemen.

According to Hanash, there is a second group, often consisting of “paid elements,” who add to the confusion and turn a blind eye to the disasters happening in Houthi-controlled areas.

At the same time, positive indicators show a level of freedom of expression in Aden, at least compared to other provinces. Aden has become a space of freedom for citizens, whether in the streets or in media and digital spaces, while Houthi militias oppress and silence any dissenting voices against their ideology.
