Sanaa:His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen, has reiterated the nation's commitment to ending the ongoing aggression and siege imposed by Saudi Arabia. In a message addressed to the Yemeni people and the broader Islamic Ummah, President Al-Mashat highlighted Yemen's dedication to utilizing all available means to bring an end to the conflict.
According to Yemen News Agency, President Al-Mashat welcomed all fair and just efforts aimed at ending the Saudi siege and aggression against Yemen. He emphasized the importance of addressing humanitarian issues, redressing the damages sustained by the Yemeni people, and respecting Yemen's sovereignty and independence, in line with international principles and conventions.
President Al-Mashat recounted the surprise attack on Yemen that began on March 26, 2015, led by the Saudi regime with American and Western assistance, targeting civilian and military structures without provocation. In response to this aggression, the Yemeni people have shown resilience, rallying around armed forces, and facing significant losses, including tens of thousands of lives and the creation of the largest humanitarian crisis globally, as reported by the United Nations.
He noted that despite the Yemeni army's adherence to ethical conduct in warfare, the Saudi regime has continued its aggressive tactics, launching thousands of airstrikes that have resulted in numerous civilian casualties, predominantly women and children. President Al-Mashat condemned the Saudi regime for its recent military mobilizations and attempts to deepen the economic and humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
President Al-Mashat reaffirmed Yemen's support for the Palestinian cause and called for the formation of an Islamic alliance to counteract threats from Zionist and American projects. He also urged the international community to condemn the Saudi regime's actions, particularly its transformation of the Bab al-Mandab strait into a military zone.
In conclusion, President Al-Mashat stressed Yemen's resolve to pursue its rights and end the aggression, emphasizing the nation's readiness to embrace peaceful initiatives like those proposed by Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, provided there is genuine commitment from all parties involved. He assured the Yemeni people of diverse strategies to achieve their goals, expressing confidence in divine support and the justice of their cause.
