Al-Ejri Holds UN, US-Saudi Aggression Responsible for Obstructing Truce
Member of National Delegation, Abdulmalik Al-Ejri, held UN and the US-Saudi aggression responsible for obstructing the military and humanitarian truce, which is nearing its end.
In a statement to Almasirah, Al-Ejri said, that the aggression have not yet demonstrated seriousness towards peace, and they relish the suffering of Yemeni people, and they wish to obstruct any interest of Yemeni people.
He added that the approval of the truce agreement was to cut the way in front of the pretexts of aggression, which were alleging that Salvation Government rejects calls for peace.
He pointed out that the truce was a test of the intentions of the countries of aggression, and exposed the falseness of their calls for peace. He explained that the coalition of aggression used various excuses from the beginning to obstruct the opening of Sana’a International Airport, pointing out that the students and patients who benefit from the opening of Sana’a Airport are, however, obstructing the opening of the airport.
He stated that the performance of the UN was disappointing. It was expected from UN that it would be unable to sponsor the truce until its implementation. Explaining that the national party agreed to the truce to alleviate the suffering of Yemeni people, but the performance of the other party confirms the correctness of the position towards lifting the siege.
He added, “We tried to show restraint so that the argument would be clear to everyone against the countries of aggression, yet the obstacles persist.”
Al-Ejri explained that the US-Saudi aggression wants to stop military actions so that their countries are not bombed and then keep Yemen under the reality of the crisis in order to explode the situation from the inside.
He stated that the US-Saudi mercenaries do not have any decision in the siege, and that the countries of the aggression are responsible and concerned, even if they try to put their mercenaries in the forefront.
He indicated that the bodies affiliated with the mercenaries of the aggression were formed by foreign powers, and they do not represent Yemeni people and have nothing to do with it.
He pointed out that most countries of the world deal with passports issued by various governorates of the Republic of Yemen.
Recently, the UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg announced the ceasefire on Friday, saying the two-month truce would come into effect on Saturday and could be renewed with consent of the parties, Reuters reported.
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.”
Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, claiming the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.
The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
