A senior official from Yemen's Islah party has warned that the existence of multiple armed forces undermines national stability and threatens civil peace.
Adnan Al-Odayni, spokesman for the Yemeni Gathering for Reform (Islah), emphasized that having multiple armed groups outside state control creates power centers that jeopardize national security.
Al-Odayni stressed that a single national army is essential for stability, saying that armed groups outside state control turn weapons into a bargaining chip, replacing politics.
His comments come amid ongoing efforts to address Yemen's complex security challenges and promote national reconciliation.
