Today, Yemen’s Defense Minister, Major General Mohsen Al-Daari, held a meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to Yemen, Stephen Fagin, and U.S. Military Attaché Colonel Stewart Peebles. The discussions focused on the recent classification of the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization.

He emphasized the importance of implementing this decision rigorously and effectively. Furthermore, he highlighted the need to bolster the capabilities of the armed forces to continue the liberation efforts and restore state institutions.
Al-Daari pointed out the ongoing violations and acts of terrorism committed by the Houthi militia against the Yemeni people. He specifically mentioned the plight of detainees in Houthi prisons, the abduction of international organization workers, and the torture of some individuals to death. He stressed the urgent need to deter these militias in defense of humanity.
The Defense Minister reiterated the significance of the armed forces asserting their sovereignty over all national territory. He underscored the necessity of securing maritime trade routes and restoring stability to Yemen and the broader region.
