The Kuwaiti government condemned on Monday attempts to stir strife and undermine national unity through social media.

Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Sabah al-Salem chaired the weekly cabinet meeting on Monday. Government spokesman Amer al-Ajami said the cabinet condemned attempts to sow strife through social media.

In a statement, he added that the government underlined its “respect to all segments of society”, rejecting any attempt to stir strife through hatred, discrimination or incitement.

It praised the role played by the Interior Ministry in firmly countering such behavior and holding those involved to account, stressing that no one is above the law.

The general prosecution had announced the arrest of a citizen for violating the law on national unity and insulting tribes on social media.

The Interior Ministry had arrested the Kuwaiti national and he is now awaiting a ruling from the general prosecution.

The Ministry emphasized that it had taken all the “necessary legal measures against anyone who harms national unity though offensive statements against various segments of our society.”

The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Head of Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC) Aidrous Al-Zubaidi, left for Somaliland by boat and then boarded an aircraft to Somalia's Mogadishu that landed at a military airport in Abu Dhabi.

"Reliable intelligence indicates that Aidrous Al-Zubaidi and others have escaped in the dead of night," a statement from the Coalition said early on Thursday, detailing a boat-and-plane journey from Aden to Abu Dhabi via Somaliland and Somalia.

The plane that took him to Mogadishu from Somaliland "under the supervision of UAE officers" waited for an hour before flying to a military airport in Abu Dhabi, the Coalition said.

The Coalition statement from Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki said an Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft used in the operation had been used in “conflict zones” like Ethiopia, Libya and Somalia.

The statement came a day after Al-Zubaidi was expelled from Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) for high treason.

In a decree, PLC Chairman Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi on Wednesday referred Al-Zubaidi to the general prosecutor for committing high treason and harming the unity and security of the state.
