Deputy head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council Aidarous al-Zubaidi has stressed the unity of the PLC, saying the Council works in harmony to meet the aspirations of the Yemeni people.

In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper on Sunday, on the first anniversary of the PLC’s establishment, al-Zubaidi said that the Council and its members are going ahead in meeting the objectives and the aspirations of the Yemeni people.

Al-Zubaidi stated that the PLC cooperates with the Arab Coalition, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and agrees with them on the roadmap for a comprehensive political solution in Yemen.

The deputy head of the PLC told Asharq Al-Awsat that the peace process and the negotiations, which will take place in the coming days, will deal with the nation’s problems, mainly the cause of the southerners.

He reiterated that the Council is in agreement with the Arab Coalition on the comprehensive political process, adding “we will press ahead on the peace road until peace is achieved across the nation.”

Al-Zubaidi reassured the Yemeni people, in general, and the people of the south, in particular, that the roadmap will prioritize the nation’s problems, including the cause of the southerners.

The atrocities unleashed on El-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region last October were a "preventable human rights catastrophe", the United Nations said Monday, warning they now risked being repeated in the neighbouring Kordofan region.

 

"My office sounded the alarm about the risk of mass atrocities in the besieged city of El-Fasher for more than a year ... but our warnings were ignored," UN rights chief Volker Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

 

He added that he was now "extremely concerned that these violations and abuses may be repeated in the Kordofan region".

The General Secretariat of the Arab League strongly condemned decisions by Israeli occupation authorities to impose fundamental changes on the legal and administrative status of the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in the West Bank, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and signed agreements, SPA reported.

In a statement, the Arab League said the measures include facilitating the confiscation of private Palestinian property and transferring planning and licensing authorities in the city of Hebron and the area surrounding the Ibrahimi Mosque to occupation authorities.

It warned of the serious repercussions of these actions on the rights of the Palestinian people and on Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The statement reaffirmed the Arab League’s firm support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
