The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the statement issued by Saudi Arabia urging de-escalation after the unilateral military activities by the Southern Transitional Council in Yemen’s governorates of Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra.
The MWL highlighted Saudi Arabia’s commendable efforts and sincere calls to spare the Yemeni people from severe harm and repercussions that could result from the escalation, said the Saudi Press Agency.
In a statement by the MWL General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa affirmed the MWL’s appreciation and support for the efforts made by Saudi Arabia and the coalition in supporting the Yemeni people.
He also underscored efforts to de-escalate dangerous military movements that threaten unity and fall outside the legitimate political leadership represented by Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council.
He reaffirmed full support and solidarity with the chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, its members, and the Yemeni government in the pursuit of security, stability and development in the Republic of Yemen.
