Speaker of Parliament Offers Condolences for the Passing of Ali Salem Al-Baidh

Today, Sheikh Sultan Al-Barkani, the Speaker of the Yemeni Parliament, extended heartfelt condolences to Dr. Adnan Ali Salem Al-Baidh following the death of his father, the prominent activist Ali Salem Al-Baidh, former Vice President of the Presidential Council.

A Legacy of National Service

In his message, Al-Barkani expressed profound sorrow over the loss. He stated, “With hearts that believe in God’s decree, we received the painful news of your father’s passing. Ali Salem Al-Baidh was a significant figure in Yemeni politics, having dedicated decades to national service and making substantial sacrifices.”

A Key Figure in Yemen’s History

Al-Baidh played a crucial role in Yemen’s contemporary history. He actively participated in the signing of the unification agreement with the late Ali Abdullah Saleh on May 22, 1990. This historic event raised the republican flag, symbolizing the merging of regions and the collective will of the people for a unified nation.

A Pioneer of National Struggle

Al-Barkani highlighted Al-Baidh’s early involvement in the national struggle against colonialism. He noted that Al-Baidh was among the first leaders who contributed significantly to the national movement that achieved statehood and independence. His leadership during these formative years provided stability and reinforced the values of sovereignty and national decision-making.

Deepest Sympathy to the Al-Baidh Family

The Speaker of Parliament conveyed his sincere condolences to the entire Al-Baidh family during this difficult time. He prayed for God’s mercy upon the deceased and asked for strength and patience for all family members and loved ones. “Indeed, we belong to God, and to Him, we shall return,” he concluded.
