The Chairman of the Leadership Council urges the international community to support and implement sovereign decisions in the UN Security Council.

President Alimi Urges International Community to Support Yemen’s Sovereign Decisions

In a recent meeting in Riyadh, President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council, called on the international community to translate Yemen’s sovereign decisions into actionable measures within the United Nations Security Council. This meeting included ambassadors from countries supporting the political process, alongside Foreign Minister Dr. Shaea Al-Zandani.

Recent Developments in Eastern Provinces

During the discussion, President Alimi highlighted the latest developments in Yemen’s eastern provinces. He emphasized that the recent events in Hadramout and Al-Mahra represented not a political disagreement, but a significant threat to the unity of military and security decisions. Furthermore, he described these actions as undermining the legal status of the state and an attempt to create parallel authorities, which the international community rejects.

Efforts for De-escalation

The President noted that the government has made intensive efforts over the past few weeks to promote de-escalation. These efforts included a repositioning plan for the National Shield Forces and the formation of a high-level communication committee. However, he lamented that these initiatives faced obstruction and a persistent push for unilateral actions.

Sovereign Decision on Counter-Terrorism

President Alimi asserted that combating terrorism is a sovereign decision and should not serve as a pretext for imposing a new reality. He pointed out the achievements of military and security institutions in dismantling terrorist cells and securing vital cities and corridors.

The Southern Issue and Political Dialogue

The President reiterated that the southern issue is just, but its resolution must come through political dialogue rather than armed conflict or exclusive representation. This stance aligns with the position of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Concerns Over Recent Escalation

Addressing the recent escalation, President Alimi expressed concerns about the Emirati role in pressuring local forces to take military action. He warned that such actions pose a threat to both Yemeni and Saudi national security. He emphasized that the demand for the withdrawal of forces operating outside the coalition’s framework is a sovereign requirement that protects the coalition’s integrity.

Warning Against Armed Groups

The President cautioned that the continued existence of armed groups acting as parallel authorities could lead Yemen into open chaos. He urged the international community to adopt a unified and clear stance against unilateral actions and to support the de-escalation efforts led by Saudi Arabia.

The Importance of State Stability

In conclusion, President Alimi stressed that the collapse of state authority would result in instability across Yemen, both in the north and south. He called on all parties to prevent the disintegration of the state and to provide the Yemeni people with a genuine opportunity for peace and a dignified life.
