The comprehensive training session on forensic evidence techniques kicked off in Yemen's interim capital, Aden, on Saturday, hosted by the Faculty of Law at the University of Aden.

The aim is to enhance capabilities in the field of forensic evidence, ultimately bolstering its utilization and maximizing its benefits. The program integrates both theoretical and practical components.

This initiative falls within the support framework of the Saudi Program for Development and Reconstruction in Yemen (SPDRY), which includes a series of projects for the University of Aden inaugurated last March.

Among these projects was the establishment of 28 laboratories, including the forensic lab at the Faculty of Law.

The training course is divided into six modules covering various aspects of forensic evidence.

It offers participants a comprehensive journey through the role of modern techniques in guiding and supporting forensic investigations. The course, which began on May 28 and runs until June 11, aims to equip attendees with specialized practical skills.

According to a statement from the SPDRY, the course’s significance lies in its tailored practical components, catering to students at the University of Aden.

It also serves relevant government sectors, enhancing their capacities and aiding in task performance. Additionally, it plays a pivotal role in supporting and sustaining educational programs across faculties.

The SPDRY is executing 229 developmental projects and initiatives across various Yemeni provinces, spanning eight essential sectors.

These sectors include education, healthcare, water, energy, transportation, agriculture, fisheries, and capacity development and support for the Yemeni government, along with developmental programs.

Saudi Arabia condemned on Saturday the approval by Israel’s security cabinet to expand settlements in the occupied West Bank.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said “the Kingdom firmly rejects the continuous Israeli violations of international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.”

It also cautioned about “the severe consequences of the practices of the Israeli occupation authorities, given the lack of international accountability.”

The ministry said the Israeli violations undermine the prospects for peace and exacerbate conflicts, destabilizing the region and the world.
