Local authorities have reopened the government complex in Dhubab<\/a> District, Bab al-Mandab, after rehabilitation works and mine clearance operations made the site safe for the return of government institutions and public services.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant General Tariq Saleh, Vice President of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, and Taiz Governor Nabil Shamsan attended the reopening ceremony, marking the return of official activities to a facility that had remained out of service for years following conflict-related damage.<\/p>\n

Before rehabilitation work could begin, Project Masam demining teams surveyed and cleared the complex, which had previously been affected by a landmine explosion<\/a> within its grounds.<\/p>\n

Engineer Fikri Hassan, leader of Project Masam’s demining Team 28, said clearance teams removed one anti-tank mine, 15 unexploded shells, 15 fuzes, and a quantity of assorted ammunition from inside the facility.<\/p>\n

The clearance operation eliminated explosive hazards that posed risks to government employees, contractors, and civilians visiting the complex, allowing restoration work to proceed.<\/p>\n

The reopening is expected to improve access to public services for residents of Dhubab District and surrounding communities while supporting broader stabilisation and recovery efforts in the Bab al-Mandab area.<\/p>\n

Located on Yemen’s strategic western coast overlooking one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors, Bab al-Mandab<\/a> witnessed heavy fighting during the conflict and remains affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war left behind in former frontline areas.<\/p>\n

Project Masam teams continue carrying out humanitarian mine clearance operations across Yemen’s western coast and other governorates, securing roads, public facilities, residential areas, and agricultural land threatened by explosive contamination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
