Arab Parliament Prioritizes Yemen’s Unity and Independence

The President of the Arab Parliament, Muhammad Al-Yamahi, emphasized that preserving Yemen’s unity, independence, and territorial integrity ranks as a top priority for the Arab Parliament. This commitment reflects in the Parliament’s discussions during public sessions, committee meetings, and participation in regional and international forums at various levels.

Response to Developments in Yemen

Al-Yamahi conveyed these sentiments in a response letter to the Speaker of the Yemeni Parliament, Sheikh Sultan Al-Barakani. This letter, dated October 20, addressed Al-Barakani’s correspondence from October 17 regarding the escalating situation in Yemen due to the actions of the Houthi terrorist militias. The letter highlighted the humanitarian, regional, and international repercussions of these actions, which include crimes and assaults targeting civilians, residential areas, and vital facilities, causing severe damage to infrastructure.

Upcoming Discussions on Yemen

Al-Yamahi noted that the Arab Parliament will discuss and adopt the contents of Al-Barakani’s letter during its scheduled session on October 26. The Parliament plans to take necessary actions to disseminate the demands outlined in the letter to parliamentary, regional, and international institutions, as well as relevant parties. This approach aims to enhance Arab and international engagement regarding the evolving situation in Yemen.

Acknowledgment of Efforts

In his response, Al-Yamahi expressed sincere greetings and appreciation to Al-Barakani, commending the letter’s contents and positions that reflect a commitment to Yemen’s security and stability.

Ongoing Suffering in Taiz

Al-Barakani’s letter addressed the ongoing suffering of residents in Taiz Governorate due to the siege imposed by Houthi militias. He detailed the bombardment, killings, and mistreatment faced by the city’s inhabitants, along with their deprivation of water, food, and medicine. Furthermore, he highlighted the serious escalation represented by the attack on the government headquarters in the temporary capital, Aden, and the assault on Aden International Airport.

Violations Against Saudi Arabia

The letter also mentioned Houthi attacks targeting civilians and economic facilities, including airports in the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These actions represent a violation of Saudi sovereignty and pose a threat to its security and the safety of civilians. Additionally, the repeated assaults on international shipping lanes raise concerns about risks to energy supply routes and global supply chains.

Support for Arab Issues

Al-Barakani praised the parliamentary role of the Arab Parliament in advocating for Arab issues, particularly the Palestinian cause. He appreciated the Parliament’s supportive positions regarding Yemen since the onset of the crisis, recognizing the current president and previous leaders for prioritizing the Yemeni issue in the Arab Parliament’s activities and international engagements.
