RIYADH, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen against Houthi militias called on Sunday upon political parties for calm and restraint in connection to the recent developments in Aden, the temporary capital of Yemen, Saudi Press Agency reported.
There have been rising tensions between southern separatists and the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi over control of the southern half of the country. The two groups had been united throughout Yemen's three-year civil war against the Iranian backed Houthis in the north, but the conflicts could hinder the efforts of the coalition to control the Iranian expansion plans in Yemen.
The coalition highlighted in a statement the importance of Yemenis' various orientations and affiliations to take into account national responsibility in guiding joint work with the coalition to complete the liberation of all Yemeni lands. It continued that the coalition is following the developments in Aden and the media debate in this regard about some demands to rectify some imbalances in the government sector..
The coalition has been involved in the war in Yemen since 2015 that led to thousands of deaths among civilians because of airstrikes, clashes between armed groups and contagious and other diseases because of the devastating living conditions.
