Al-Ali: Stability in Yemen depends on state restoration
The article covers statements by the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chair, Rashad al-Alimi, in which he called on the international community to adopt a firmer stance against Iranian interventions in the region. He stressed the need to confront the financing and weapons networks of the Houthi movement, "Ansar Allah." Al-Alimi emphasized that the recent Houthi escalation represents an attempt to extort the Yemeni government and challenge its sovereignty, amid efforts to unify efforts to counter the group's threats and strengthen Yemen's security and military capabilities. He highlighted the importance of intensifying international cooperation to track arms smuggling networks and military technology, as well as supporting the Yemeni government's capacity to safeguard vital maritime routes, such as the Bab al-Mandab Strait. He reaffirmed that regional stability requires a strong Yemeni state that controls its coasts and territorial waters, and that any notion of sharing authority with the armed group through official institutions is unacceptable. The statement concluded with a call to restore state institutions and enhance their military and security preparedness to face Houthi escalations, alongside ongoing efforts to regain full control over Yemeni territory amid a war that has lasted for more than a decade and resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis.
