Al-AlimiAffirms Just Southern Issue
The head of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, affirmed that restoring the Yemeni state does not mean returning to pre-war conditions or re-establishing the centralization and practices that led to the crises. Rather, it aims to build strong institutions that ensure the protection of sovereignty and the stability of the country. He clarified that the government's efforts focus on unifying political, military, and security decision-making, while also addressing the impacts of the 1994 war by restoring more than 36,000 employees to their positions and compensating those affected. He also pointed out that regaining state institutions does not conflict with resolving the Southern issue, which is considered a just political matter stemming from grievances accumulated over decades. The Southern-Southern dialogue, sponsored by Saudi Arabia, supports this approach. Economically, Al-Alimi emphasized that the resumption of oil and gas exports is a sovereign decision, following the loss of 70% of the state's resources due to Houthi attacks. He stated that efforts are ongoing to repair oil facilities and diversify resources. Additionally, he confirmed that the Yemeni army is now unified, operating under a single command room, and responding to any Houthi attacks. The government is committed to achieving lasting peace, which includes a sovereign state and a unified armed force. He called on the international community to help Yemen end the war, stressing that peace can only be achieved through the sovereignty of the state and its monopoly on weapons. He also praised Hadramout for its strategic and historical significance.
