Yemen’s Foreign Ministry Condemns Saudi Arabia’s Stance on Ansarullah Blockade
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Reconstruction of Yemen issued a statement in response to recent positions taken by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the blockade imposed by Yemen’s Ansarullah movement. The Yemeni ministry declared that the Saudi government treats Yemen as a territory under its dominion, presuming to grant entry to ships carrying food and medicine to Yemeni ports as a favor, viewed from a position of superiority.
The statement emphasized that the Yemeni people will never forget the tens of thousands of lives lost during Saudi aerial attacks over the past twelve years.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the government of change and reconstruction also asserted that the conflicts between Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the occupied provinces confirm Saudi Arabia’s occupation of vast swathes of Yemeni territory.
The ministry added that Saudi Arabia attempts to hide behind its mercenaries, and that approximately 250,000 Saudi airstrikes over the past twelve years reveal the reality of what has occurred in Yemen.
The statement further stressed that the list of Saudi crimes is extensive, with direct damages from the country’s attacks exceeding $500 billion.
Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Reconstruction also announced that Yemen’s sole demand is independence, full sovereignty, and the attainment of its legitimate rights, and that the Yemeni nation will not settle for anything less.
In a separate development, Mohammed Al-Farah, a member of the Ansarullah political bureau, responded to statements by the spokesperson for the Saudi Army [Saudi-led coalition] who claimed there was no blockade on Sanaa Airport. Al-Farah questioned, “If there is no blockade against Sanaa Airport, why did Saudi Arabia target the airport simultaneously with a flight carrying patients, stranded individuals, and a Yemeni delegation?”
He further emphasized that denying the blockade in this manner will yield no positive results for Saudi Arabia and will not protect the country’s oil and shipping interests.
