The President of the Presidential Council, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, issued a republican decision to establish a State Security Council that would integrate all legitimate intelligence entities in northern and southern Yemen. 

The decision included the integration of  the security bodies of Southern Transitional Council STC and Republican guards in western coast with other security bodies .

 It seems that the decision paves the way for the next stage of unifying security and military efforts to confront the rapid developments inside Yemen, as well as the Houthis’ repeated threats and violations of international humanitarian laws on land and at sea.
