Yemen's legitimate government has renewed its call for added international pressure on Iran-backed Houthi militias to comply with UN Security Council resolutions. On Sunday, Houthis had pressed on with their offensive against Yemen’s northeastern governorate of Marib.
Houthi militias have also been consistently violating the UN-sponsored truce in the Red Sea coastal governorate of Hodeidah.
Yemeni Vice President Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, during a meeting with the Spanish ambassador to Saudi Arabia Albaro Erantho, had reviewed UN peacemaking efforts in Yemen and ways to end the Iran-backed Houthi insurgency in the war-torn country.
According to official sources, al-Ahmar also tackled the Yemeni government’s cooperative attitude towards all efforts to boost international security when Houthis continue to escalate their threats against global navigation in Red Sea waters.
Al-Ahmar reaffirmed the need to double international pressure to implement UN Security Council resolutions and limit Houthi aggressions that endanger international security and stability, reported Saba News Agency.
Meanwhile, Yemeni Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani called on political forces to unite their ranks in Yemen, recalling developments taking place in Afghanistan.
“Falling of cities and regions in Afghanistan by Taliban, is the result of division and differences between Afghan political and social forces, failure to unify efforts under official leadership, and miss international consensus in supporting the Afghan government and people to win battle since 2001,” said Eryani in an official statement.
“Political forces are invited to learn from Afghan experience, avoid bleak fate it has reached, give priority to the national interest, turn the page of past, renounce all political differences and unite their ranks behind constitutional legitimacy led by President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi,” he noted.
“Yemenis, with various components, are urged not to waste time, and mobilize all energies and capabilities behind the national army and popular resistance, backed by the Arab Coalition to Support Legitimacy, led by brothers in Saudi Arabia to win the battle to restore state and defeat Iranian-backed Houthi coup,” the minister concluded.
