Head of National Delegation: There Is No Stability in Region Without Stability of Yemen
The head of the national delegation, Muhammad Abd al-Salam, stressed, Friday, that there is no stability in the region without the stability of Yemen.
Abdel Salam explained in a tweet on his Twitter account that peace in Yemen can only be achieved by a comprehensive cessation of aggression, withdrawal of foreign forces, lifting of the siege and releasing of prisoners.
He indicated that peace must include a comprehensive treatment of the repercussions of the aggression in terms of compensation and others. He pointed out that any measures that do not amount to real peace are not of value.
The US-Saudi aggression and its mercenaries are committing hundreds of violations of the UN-sponsored humanitarian and military truce every day.
On Monday, the head of the National Delegation confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression continues to obstruct the truce with violations and delays of flights and ships. He also explained that the flights that took place amounted to only 15, while fuel ships continue to be delayed by booking them at sea, which doubles the costs.
During the past few days, 17 people were killed and injured by the Saudi enemy fire in the border areas of Sa’adah Governorate, in light of the military humanitarian UN-Sponsored truce.
In early April, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016, saying the two-month truce would be eligible for renewal with the consent of parties.
The truce, meant to halt all military operations in the country and bring the foreign military invasion to an end, came into effect at 07:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on April 2.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the truce “must be a first step to ending Yemen’s devastating war,” urging the warring parties to build on the opportunity to “resume an inclusive and comprehensive Yemeni political process.”
The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a “to predetermined destinations in the region.”
The Saudi-led aggression continues to violate the truce by detaining new fuel ships, despite their inspection and obtaining permits from the United Nations, insisting on the closure of Sana’a Airport, as well as, the fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside. Shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl, including a failed advance carried out by mercenaries towards Army and Popular Committee sites south of Marib.
