UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar Gargash hailed on Sunday the Yemeni people’s rise against the Houthi militias in Sana’a.

He said: “The control of terrorism and weapons is temporary and Yemen’s natural place is among its Arab fold.”

In addition, he stressed that the Yemeni uprising should be supported.

Regardless of the results of the revolt, it has demonstrated that the Iranian Houthi militia is rejected in Yemen, continued the minister.

Furthermore, Gargash stated that the purpose of the war in Yemen was protecting the Arabian Peninsula from Iranian expansion and the Houthi gangs.

France Declines to Comment on Algeria’s Anger over Recognition of Morocco’s Claim over Sahara

Paris declined to comment on Algeria’s “strong condemnation” of the French government’s decision to recognize Morocco’s claim over the Sahara.

The office of the French Foreign Ministry refused to respond to an AFP request for a comment on the Algeria’s stance.

It did say that further comments could impact the trip Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is set to make to France in late September or early October.

The visit has been postponed on numerous occasions over disagreements between the two countries.

France had explicitly expressed its constant and clear support for the autonomy rule proposal over the Sahara during Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne’s visit to Morocco in February, reported AFP.

The position has helped improve ties between Rabat and Paris.

On Thursday, the Algerian Foreign Ministry expressed “great regret and strong denunciation" about the French government's decision to recognize an autonomy plan for the Western Sahara region "within Moroccan sovereignty”.

Algeria was informed of the decision by France in recent days, an Algerian foreign ministry statement added.

The ministry also said Algeria would draw all the consequences from the decision and hold the French government alone completely responsible.
