Recognition of Leadership and Democratic Values
Sheikh Sultan Al-Barakani, the Speaker of the Yemeni Parliament, sent a congratulatory message today to Mohammed Ahmed Al-Yamahi following his election as President of the Arab Parliament. Al-Barakani expressed pride in the democratic process that took place during the Arab Parliament meeting held at the Arab League headquarters.
In his message, Al-Barakani stated, “I followed today’s Arab Parliament meeting, which resulted in your election as its President. This is a significant achievement for both you and the democratic practices of this institution.” He extended congratulations on behalf of himself, the parliamentary leadership, and all council members for the trust bestowed upon Al-Yamahi, who succeeds Adel bin Abdul Rahman Al-Assoumi. Al-Assoumi previously led the council through challenging times, demonstrating remarkable leadership skills to navigate obstacles and maintain the unity of the Arab Parliament.
Confidence in Leadership Amid Regional Challenges
Al-Barakani emphasized his confidence in Al-Yamahi’s political and parliamentary experience. He believes that Al-Yamahi will effectively lead the Arab Parliament during these perilous times, particularly given the ongoing crises in Palestine, Gaza, and Lebanon. These nations face unprecedented aggression, which Al-Barakani described as one of the most severe challenges in contemporary history.
Al-Barakani noted that with Al-Yamahi’s expertise and wisdom, the Arab Parliament will achieve its foundational goals, enhancing its role in regional cooperation. He anticipates that Al-Yamahi’s presidency will foster a unique and distinguished experience that benefits the entire Arab nation, positively impacting parliamentary, political, economic, cultural, and social endeavors.
Appreciation for UAE and Saudi Arabia’s Support
The Speaker of the Yemeni Parliament expressed his full confidence in the United Arab Emirates, highlighting its successes across various sectors. He praised the UAE as a model of growth and technological advancement, which contributes to the security, stability, and prosperity of its citizens. Al-Barakani recognized the UAE’s efforts in education and technology, aiming to provide a safer and more prosperous life for its people.
He also commended the UAE and Saudi Arabia for their support during Yemen’s struggles against the Houthi militia. Their skilled and courageous efforts helped halt a crisis that threatened to engulf Yemen. Al-Barakani noted the coalition’s success in pushing back against the Houthi advance, restoring control over significant areas of Yemen.
A Call for Arab Solidarity
In closing, Al-Barakani remarked, “This is a tremendous opportunity for us to rely on your leadership of the Arab Parliament to strengthen Arab solidarity in facing these challenges. We can achieve the desired renewal in joint Arab action, ensuring the security, stability, and restoration of the Arab nation’s role on the international stage.”
Al-Barakani’s message underscores the importance of unity and effective leadership during critical times, as the Arab nations confront ongoing challenges.
