SECURITY AND LIVING CONDITIONS

 

 

SECURITY:

 

Aden

The situation in terms of security remains tense in Aden and its surrounding Lahj governorate, due to the proximity of the frontline, the political unrest and the presence of armed opposition groups. In the context of Aden however, INGOs are not a target, neither for criminal, political or armed groups. Main risks for INGOs in Aden relate to crossfire (wrong location at the wrong moment), kidnapping or hostage taking (even though there is no proven history of kidnapping of expatriates in recent years), crowd mob and road accidents. To mitigate these risks, SI has developed strict security rules that the applicant needs to be ready to abide to.

 

Al Turbah

Rural Areas (Ash Shamayatayn, Al Ma’afer and Al Mawasit districts)

Al Turbah is located south of Taiz city in Shamayatayn governorate. The security situation remains calm in rural areas despite potential of instability related to political tensions (cross fire between military groups cannot be ruled out), social tensions such as demonstration or private disputes related to land ownership issues.

 

Taiz city

Taiz city remains surrounded by frontlines between Internationally recognized government and Houthis where fighting occurs on a sporadic and erratic manner. Access to the city is possible and monitored closely by Al Turbah base security team.

 

 

KEY INFORMATION ABOUT LIVING CONDITIONS

The coordination office in Aden is shared with the guesthouse (same building). Security rules in Aden are rather restrictive, with a curfew at 8 pm, extended to 9 pm in the area where most INGOs are located. Trips to the field is possible for expatriates under certain condition but are limited to keep the presence of international staff low profile.

In Al Turbah living conditions are quite good, expats are living in individual rooms in the shared guesthouse and benefit from a cooler weather and a nice rooftop. For the time being the guesthouse and the office are located in the same compound at different floors. Movements are very restricted but access to field for work purposes in authorized in the neighboring sub-districts (not near Taizz city), with few pre-assessed and validated areas for groceries shopping, haircut, etc., with curfew time starting at 06:00 pm.
