The man paving the way for the return of Yemen’s government



Aden // He may be the only senior official from Yemen's internationally recognised government working inside the country, but Mohammed Ali Marem appears remarkably upbeat.
Yet his friendly and humble demeanour belies the weight of responsibility resting on the 40-year-old's shoulders.
As chief of staff for the office of President Abdrabu Mansur Hadi, he is tasked with paving the way for the return of a government forced into exile when Houthi rebels attacked Aden in March after taking over Sanaa, the capital, almost a year ago.
With large parts of Aden in ruins from the fighting and the constant threat of militant attacks, preparing this historic port to serve as a capital is proving challenging.
"President Hadi has hoped to return to Aden since the beginning of August, ... however it is difficult to return to war-torn city, as there is not even an office for the president to work from and there is not a house for him," Mr Marem tells The National. "However, I hope that the reconstruction of the presidential palaces will be finished as soon as possible, and the president will return in the coming days."
Mr Marem accompanied the president during his escape from Sanaa to Aden in February after the Houthis took over.
He last saw Mr Hadi when he and his government ministers fled from Aden for Saudi Arabia in March as the Houthis closed in on the city.
Mr Marem stayed behind and, with his wife and children, went into hiding until the Houthis were expelled from the city in July by Southern Resistance forces with help from UAE troops and armoured vehicles.
It was during this time that Mr Hadi issued a decree appointing Mr Marem as the chief of staff of the presidential office. His predecessor, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, had been jailed by the Houthis in Sanaa, and was only released on the promise that he leave Yemen. He now serves as the ambassador to the US.
The rise to such a senior position came quickly for Mr Marem, who holds a PhD in finance and banking from the University of Putra in Malaysia. Originally from Abyan province, he went on to become a finance lecturer at Aden University, and took on a role as the head of rebuilding the country in Yemen's National Dialogue Conference, a process put in place after the Arab Spring protests that toppled long-time leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
His office is inside an understated two-storey building in Aden's Al Sheik Othman district. Several guards are spread inside and outside the premises and a number of leaders from South Yemen are gathered at the building, including the governor of Abyan and some leading figures of the Southern Resistance.
Speaking to The National inside his office, a clean shaven and young-looking Mr Marem is full of praise for the role of the UAE in helping to liberate Aden from the Houthis and he pays tribute to the seven Emirati soldiers killed in the operation to defeat the Houthis.
"The Emirates led the battle in Aden from the first step to the last and they made Aden return to its normal conditions," he says. "The Emirates is the most effective country in the field, especially fighting shoulder to shoulder with the resistance on the battlefields."
He also says the UAE had played a vital role in rebuilding key services in the city including opening the airport and harbour. The Emirates Red Crescent has overseen the distribution of thousands of tons of aid to the city's residents.
He says that with UAE troops enforcing a security cordon around the city, the next phase is to prepare Aden to serve as the capital of Yemen while forces loyal to Mr Hadi continue to fight to retake first Taez and then Sanaa from the Houthis.
"The reconstruction of buildings is the only obstacle that faces the return of the cabinet to Aden," he says, adding that eight ministers were expected to arrive in Aden soon.
Mr Marem cannot say how long Aden will remain as the capital. That will depend on the success of the military campaign further north. But he adds that Aden used to be the seat of government for South Yemen before it unified with the north in 1990.
He says it would take several months to prepare the necessary buildings for the ministers but that work is underway by a UAE construction firm to repair the ruined Al Maashiq presidential palace for Mr Hadi's return.
For now, Mr Marem works an exhausting schedule of 14-hour days, filled with meetings, interviews, inspecting projects and liaising with his colleagues in Riyadh, and meeting with provincial leaders, both Gulf and Yemeni military commanders and Emirati aid officials.
He carries out his work under a constant threat from Al Qaeda militants, who have staged a number of attacks in recent weeks inside the city.
Mr Marem's phone rings and there is a queue of people waiting outside to see him. He returns to work.

How to play the stock market recovery in 2021?

If you are looking to build your long-term wealth in 2021 and beyond, the stock market is still the best place to do it as equities powered on despite the pandemic.

Investing in individual stocks is not for everyone and most private investors should stick to mutual funds and ETFs, but there are some thrilling opportunities for those who understand the risks.

Peter Garnry, head of equity strategy at Saxo Bank, says the 20 best-performing US and European stocks have delivered an average return year-to-date of 148 per cent, measured in local currency terms.

Online marketplace Etsy was the best performer with a return of 330.6 per cent, followed by communications software company Sinch (315.4 per cent), online supermarket HelloFresh (232.8 per cent) and fuel cells specialist NEL (191.7 per cent).

Mr Garnry says digital companies benefited from the lockdown, while green energy firms flew as efforts to combat climate change were ramped up, helped in part by the European Union’s green deal. 

Electric car company Tesla would be on the list if it had been part of the S&P 500 Index, but it only joined on December 21. “Tesla has become one of the most valuable companies in the world this year as demand for electric vehicles has grown dramatically,” Mr Garnry says.

By contrast, the 20 worst-performing European stocks fell 54 per cent on average, with European banks hit by the economic fallout from the pandemic, while cruise liners and airline stocks suffered due to travel restrictions.

As demand for energy fell, the oil and gas industry had a tough year, too.

Mr Garnry says the biggest story this year was the “absolute crunch” in so-called value stocks, companies that trade at low valuations compared to their earnings and growth potential.

He says they are “heavily tilted towards financials, miners, energy, utilities and industrials, which have all been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic”. “The last year saw these cheap stocks become cheaper and expensive stocks have become more expensive.” 

This has triggered excited talk about the “great value rotation” but Mr Garnry remains sceptical. “We need to see a breakout of interest rates combined with higher inflation before we join the crowd.”

Always remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Last year’s winners often turn out to be this year’s losers, and vice-versa.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
