Marib | Monday, June 22, 2026

On Monday, the handover process took place in Marib Governorate for the Rural Women’s Development building and its affiliated guardroom in the Al-Manin area, following their evacuation by the displaced citizens who had been residing there. The buildings were officially handed over to the relevant government authorities.

This step comes as part of a project led by SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties, in partnership with the Abductees’ Mothers Association and with support from DT Institute, under the activities of the SPARK project and within the framework of the “Restorative Justice Initiative.” The initiative primarily aims to find sustainable and humane solutions for displaced citizens residing in government buildings, in a manner that preserves their dignity and provides suitable alternatives. At the same time, it seeks to reactivate and rehabilitate service and development facilities so they can resume their role in serving the local community and the public interest. It also aims to promote the values of community peace by applying restorative justice tools that balance the humanitarian needs of displaced persons with the restoration of the state’s public assets.

The handover process was carried out in the presence of prominent official, security, and community representatives, including members of the reconciliation committee, representatives of the Agriculture Office, and representatives of the relevant security authorities. Attendees commended the high level of responsible coordination between human rights organizations, community committees, and government and security authorities, stressing that this cooperation contributed to the success of the process in a smooth manner that supports stability and development efforts in Marib Governorate.
