Many are hoping for this return of the government to assume its responsibilities and tasks towards the citizens, in light of a historic economic collapse that has ravaged the country and a sharp deterioration in the local currency rate.

The government was formed on December 18, 2020, as part of the practical implementation of the terms of the political part of the Riyadh Agreement between the STC and the Yemeni presidency.

It should be noted that a series of security events took place in Aden, coinciding with the return of the government and the visit of the UN envoy, Hans Grundberg, including the bloody Crater conflict between security forces and outlaw gunmen.

The Governor of Aden, Ahmed Lamlas, and the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Salem Al-Suqatri, were subjected to a failed assassination attempt with a car bomb, on Sunday, in the Al-Tawahi, Aden, which left 6 dead and a number of wounded.
