Yemeni Presidential Council calls for deterring Houthi threats

The Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council renewed its call on the international community to re-evaluate its position on the terrorist Houthi militia and take urgent measures at various levels to limit its terrorist movements that destabilize security and stability in Yemen and the region.

This was stated by the member of the council, governor of Marib, Major General Sultan Al-Arada, during his meeting, on Thursday, with the military advisor to the UN envoy to Yemen, Anthony Hayward, and his accompanying delegation, in Marib, according to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba).

According to the official agency, the meeting discussed military developments, the continued escalation of the terrorist Houthi militias, and their impact on the United Nations' efforts to bring peace to Yemen.

During the meeting, Major General Al-Arada renewed the political and military leadership's commitment to supporting the efforts of the United Nations and all regional and international efforts aimed at establishing comprehensive and just peace in Yemen, in a way that meets the aspirations of the Yemenis to achieve security and stability.

The Yemeni presidential member stressed "the need for the international community and the United Nations to re-evaluate their position on the terrorist Houthi militia after it became a direct threat to regional and international security and peace, and to maritime navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas, and a threat to global trade routes and the disruption of ship traffic in the most important strait in implementation of the Iranian agenda."

Major General Al-Arada reviewed the forms of escalation of the terrorist Houthi militia in its ongoing war on the Yemeni people in the military, economic, social and intellectual aspects, and its systematic targeting of the national identity and its efforts to destroy the values of the Yemeni people.

He stressed the need for the international community to take urgent measures and political and economic decisions to limit the terrorist Houthi militia's movements that destabilize security and stability at the local, regional and international levels, and to dry up its internal and external sources of support.

Al-Arada also called on the international community to provide the necessary support to the legitimate government to enable it to extend its control over the entire national territory, impose law and order, and restore state institutions, as well as to help it confront the worst economic and humanitarian crisis caused by the terrorist Houthi militia in Yemen, and to work to mitigate its effects on the Yemenis.
