In a tragic incident that resulted in the loss of 16 lives and left several others injured, Yemen’s Interior Minister, Major General Ibrahim Haydan, has strongly condemned the terrorist attack targeting members of the Third Brigade Support and Reinforcement in Modia, Abyan Province. The minister’s statement highlighted the government’s resolve to combat terrorism with increased determination and unity.

A United Front Against Terrorism

He emphasized that such acts of terrorism will only strengthen the resolve of Yemen’s armed forces and security agencies across all units, reinforcing their cohesion and determination to eradicate terrorism.

The Role of Iran and the International Community’s Support

The Interior Minister underscored the significance of Yemeni societal unity against terrorism, which he attributed to Iran, labeling it as the region’s sponsor of evil. He called upon regional and international communities to condemn all forms of terrorism targeting Yemen and to stand by the legitimate government. Haydan urged for comprehensive support to eliminate this menace that threatens society on both land and sea.

A Call for Global Condemnation and Support

The minister’s message was clear: terrorism, in all its forms, must face global condemnation and resistance. By highlighting the alleged financial and technical support provided by the Houthi militias to Al-Qaeda, Haydan’s statement serves as a call to action for both regional and international actors to bolster efforts in supporting Yemen’s fight against terrorism.

This stance not only reaffirms Yemen’s commitment to combating terrorism within its borders but also emphasizes the need for a unified international effort to address the roots and repercussions of terrorism that affect global peace and security.
