Aden (Al-Ittihad)
The Yemeni Presidential Council affirmed that the Houthi group has no choice but to lean toward peace, which they have rejected in form and content so far, reiterating its and the government’s full commitment to their declared pledges, first and foremost considering the southern issue as a basis for a comprehensive solution.
Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, said yesterday, in a speech addressed to the Yemeni people on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the achievement of Yemeni unity on May 22, 1990: “The other option for the Houthi group, if it does not lean towards peace, is to go towards a comprehensive military adventure to impose their oppressive will.” On the Yemeni people who have resisted and will resist its tyrannical project forever.”
He pointed out that the Houthi group, after contemplating its absurd threat to international shipping, believes that it can turn around and ignite battles on the internal fronts, stressing the readiness of the Yemeni armed and security forces in all their formations to deter any hostile adventure. At the level of the peace file, the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council renewed the Council’s firm position towards peace efforts based on the four principles that have been repeatedly emphasized, foremost of which is adherence to national, regional, and international references, in particular Resolution 2216, and not prejudice the legal and political status of the member state in the peace process. The United Nations, the comprehensiveness of any peace process and its protection with regional and international guarantees, including the presence of the southern issue, in any future consultations, in addition to the continuation of the policy of openness to all mediation efforts related to alleviating the suffering of citizens, and securing their interests and decent livelihoods.
The Chairman of the Leadership Council also renewed the full commitment of the Council and the government to their declared pledges, first and foremost considering the southern issue as a basis for a comprehensive solution and openness to all options to enable our people to achieve their aspirations and determine their political status and economic, social and cultural development in accordance with national, regional and international references.
Al-Alimi said: “It is enough that we meet today in the temporary capital, Aden, as a unified consensual leadership, to confront renewed dangers, as our early ancestors did over the course of nearly seven decades of defending the republican system, which has never gone through a more difficult time than it is experiencing now, as the Houthi group pursues “Hysterically speaking, our people are everywhere, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and displacing millions in a way that exceeds all racist wars throughout its dark history.”
Al-Alimi recalled that Yemeni unity, from its crystallization as an idea and a national call, and until its birth as a tangible reality, represented in its essence an integrated civilizational project, based on a set of lofty principles, the most important of which is strengthening national unity, broad partnership in power and wealth, achieving justice and equality, and the rule of law. .
