SANA'A March 31.2023 (Saba) - The Supreme Committee for Elections and Referendum (SCER) held on Thursday a press conference on the occasion of the National Resilience Day, to review the losses and damages it suffered over eight years.
At the opening of the conference, the head of the committee, Judge Mohamed Abdullah Al-Salemi, said that "the Yemenis are entering the ninth year of aggression more powerful, resilient and steadfast than before."
He pointed out that the aggression countries targeted all the foundations of life and institutional, civil and military capabilities with the same extent and degree of aggression.
At the conference, SCER's Secretary-General, Mohamed Al-Jalal, explained that the total direct and indirect losses suffered by the committee amounted to 20,112,173,000 riyals.
Al-Jalal indicated that the direct airstrikes of the aggression aircraft targeted five headquarters and branches of the SCER's General Secretariat in the five provinces, while the Committee's institutional structure and projects were indirectly damaged as a result of the attack by the aggression mercenaries.
The aggression coalition's warplanes bombed and completely destroyed the committee's branch in Bayda province, and the losses totaled 400 million riyals, and bombed the warehouses of the General Secretariat's branch in Hodeida, and the losses were estimated at one hundred million riyals, Al-Jalal elaborated.

Al-Jalal stated that the total losses and damages to the infrastructure and institutional structure of the Supreme Elections Committee were 19,555,173,000 riyals due to the delay of the electronic electoral register project and donor countries' failure to implement their obligations.
The Committee's Secretary-General highlighted the achievements of the committee during the years of aggression, such as the successful holding of parliamentary elections for vacant seats in April 2019, which were successful and dropped the aggression coalition bets.
