The legitimate government is taking control of majority of areas and will continue its efforts until all of Yemen is liberated and rightly returned to its people, Yemen's President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has said.

The Yemeni President affirmed that his country today is more secure following Operation Decisive Storm which reduced the coup forces into gangs that are being decimated.

''The state is about to make a recovery at a time when the rebel militias were seeking a lifejacket after they subjected Yemeni people to scourges of killings, destruction and siege and imposed on us difficult options to face barbarism, arrogance, treachery and betrayal, President Hadi said in an article published on his Facebook page on the first anniversary of the Operation, which was launched on 26th March, 2015.

''We have not been and will not be advocates of war ... we are still for peace and we engaged positively with efforts being made by the UN Special Envoy for Yemen to realise peace and restore legitimacy of the state in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution 2216. Our hand will always remain extended for a just peace that lays the foundation of a stable, secure future for our people and nation,'' he added.

The Arab Coalition, he noted, had put the Arab Nation on the right path and will remain witness to the common destiny and future.

According to him, the 34-member Islamic Military Alliance has opened up a new chapter for the Muslim Nation to pursue its leading role worldwide.
