While everyone was waiting for the arrival of the government of power-sharing between the south and the north to Aden, and start of the process of construction and development and the recovery of the country from its tragic situation, the hands of terrorism, extremism and chaos decided to play their usual criminal role in killing and destroying and disrupting the opportunities for construction, peace and stability.
