Bin Bureik Launches 100-Day Emergency Plan as Yemeni Government Enters Permanent Session in Aden
Yemen’s internationally recognized government announced on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, that it will remain in permanent session to address the country’s worsening economic, health, and public service crises. The declaration came during the first cabinet meeting chaired by newly appointed Prime Minister Salem bin Bureik in the interim capital, Aden.
Bin Bureik instructed ministers to urgently prepare actionable plans for the next 100 days, focusing on critical priorities and daily needs of citizens, in accordance with directives from Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi. The plans are expected to include clear objectives, performance indicators, and mechanisms for monitoring implementation.
Stressing a spirit of teamwork and national responsibility, the Prime Minister emphasized, “We are a government to serve the people—not above them. Our performance will be judged by what we achieve on the ground.”
The cabinet reviewed detailed reports on the dire electricity and water situation, particularly in Aden and Taiz. The Minister of Electricity proposed urgent interventions to reduce prolonged outages, while the Minister of Water and Environment outlined recommendations to address the escalating water crisis.
Aden currently suffers from power cuts lasting over 22 hours per day, the worst in its history. Widespread protests, led initially by women, have been ongoing for weeks in response to the collapse in basic services and the harsh living conditions.
Prime Minister Bin Bureik pledged that his government, in full coordination with the Presidential Council and international partners, will mobilize all resources to stabilize the economy, improve essential services, and resume efforts to end the Iran-backed Houthi coup.
