free from incidents or discord voices but we understand that any
discord voices may rise in any area of these districts. They do not
represent Radfan and Adhale' citizens.

Radfan's citizens are who will right any faults could exist without
involving in clashes with security forces and police," he said.

harm their struggle and their martyrs.

people's needs in these areas by carrying out developmental and
service projects and give them priority in the forthcoming
development plan.

He touched measures taken by the government to cure situations of
retirees and military men who leave their jobs. He indicated that
the government has spent YR 52 billion to solve these issues.

the unity. We will leave the tank, the canon and the machine gun and
leave the unity guardians to face all issues," said Saleh.

Reunification and condemned all voices harming the unity and
homeland's security.

eastern governorates, affirming that they will defend the unity and
will deter any one tries to harm it and they will also deter those
few subversive elements.
