Military sources have recently stated that the port city of Aden witnesses insecurity, pointing out that gunnies infiltrate to the city, asking the government to deal with the risks seriously. Rashid praised efforts exerted by the soldiers in combating crimes and imposing security and stability, asking them to be constantly alert and strongly responded to any attempts of terrorism, Al-Qaeda and any other elements to raise chaos. He stressed that the local authorities exert much efforts to reorganize security tasks, build up cop shoppes, secure residential neighborhoods and preserve private and public properties. The sources demanded to send military reinforcements to the city, pointing out that leaders of the General People Congress were involved in supporting the gunnies with the aim of raising turbulence and turmoil. Media sources said the security services in Aden presented a report to the Interior Ministry in which it listed the names of those leaders who support the gang and try to spark turmoil in the city.

In March 2011, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula declared the governate an Islamic Emirateafter seizing control of the region. The New York Times fastidiously reported that those in control, while Islamic hard boyz, are not in fact al-Qaeda, but something else that looks, tastes, smells, and acts the same. Yemeni government forces launched an effort to re-establish control of the region when President-for-Life Saleh was tossed and the carnage continues... are witnessing badly reflected on Aden's security.
