The Yemeni government has voiced significant concern regarding a recent decision by the U.S. administration to restrict entry for citizens of Yemen. This decision affects a group of countries, including Yemen, and has raised alarms among officials.
In a statement released on Thursday evening, the Yemeni government acknowledged the right of sovereign nations to implement measures for national security. However, it criticized the current form of the U.S. decision, highlighting its severe negative impact on thousands of Yemenis. This group includes students, researchers, and family heads who have consistently adhered to U.S. laws.
The Yemeni government reaffirmed its deep appreciation for the historical relationship between Yemen and the United States. This partnership is built on mutual respect and cooperation across various fields, particularly in combating terrorism and enhancing regional and international security.
The government praised the strategic partnership between the two nations, especially given the extraordinary circumstances Yemen faces due to the Houthi militia’s insurgency, which is backed by the Iranian regime. This situation has led to severe humanitarian, security, and economic challenges for the Yemeni people.
The Yemeni government urged the U.S. administration to reconsider its decision and exempt Yemeni citizens from these restrictions. It emphasized the dire humanitarian conditions faced by the Yemeni population and appealed to the long-standing American values of supporting those who strive for freedom, justice, and stability.
Furthermore, the Yemeni government expressed its commitment to ongoing coordination and collaboration with relevant U.S. authorities. This effort aims to enhance verification and review processes, ensuring that the highest security standards are met. Such cooperation will help alleviate concerns and strengthen humanitarian, academic, and social connections between the two friendly nations.
