Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik said the grievances of southern military and civilian servicemen forced into retirement and dismissed following the 1994 civil war is of central importance to the government.

In a meeting with a panel representing the disgruntled servicemen here on Thursday he assured them that despite the country's financial constraints, President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi conveys his assurances that the state will do its best to tackle the grievances.

The panel has collected grievances from 100,000 employees and only half of them have been so far studied and referred to the higher authorities with attached recommendations on how to address them.

The Prime Minister said the Houthi coup and war since 2014 has depleted the government of resources and time to sit on this issue.
