The Yemeni government said Monday it allocated around 16.79 billion Yemeni rials (81.21 million U.S. dollars) in a plan within its 2010 budget to reconstruct the war- affected areas in the north after it ended a long-running conflict with Shiite rebels in February. The Saada Reconstruction Fund, chaired by Prime Minister Ali al- Mujawar, approved the fund on Sunday to repair the shattered infrastructure in the war- affected Saada province and Harf Sufian district in Amran province, the Defense Ministry reported. The reconstruction plan also aims to rebuild public and private facilities damaged during six-year-long on and off clashes between government forces and the Shiite Houthi rebels, said the ministry in a report posted on its website. In the plan, some 6,205 private facilities will be repaired, while some 192 public establishments, including 123 educational projects, 23 health units, 31 police stations, nine courts, three governmental buildings and three agricultural centers, will be rebuilt. Yemen has witnessed intermittent battles since 2004 between government troops and the Shiite Houthi rebels whom the government accused of seeking to re- establish the clerical rule overthrown by the 1962 Yemeni revolution. The two sides reached a ceasefire agreement on Feb. 11.
