Yemeni Prime Minister, Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, affirmed that the Riyadh Agreement’s essence concentrates on finishing divisions between Yemeni factions.
Saeed informed Al Arabiya during an exclusive interview would be fully aired on Wednesday: The essence of the Riyadh agreement aims at ending the divisions that could be at the political level to that of the government.

There are many files on this in this aspect, but it takes time and there is work on this subject at the Military Security Committee.
As part of an agreement to end a power struggle between the nominal allies, a new power-sharing cabinet that contains southern separatists in the internationally recognized Yemeni government was established on Friday.
