Yemen Denounces Pakistan’s Involvement in Recent Airstrikes, Citing ‘Practical Cooperation’ with Saudi Arabia
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Omar Al-Bakhiti, the caretaker minister of Information in Yemen‘s Salvation Government, has sent a formal letter to Attaullah Tarar, Pakistan’s Minister of Information and Head of Radio Pakistan, strongly denouncing the military intervention and participation of the Pakistani army in the recent airstrikes on Yemeni territory.
Al-Bakhiti began the letter by acknowledging the deep historical, cultural, and Islamic relations between the Yemeni and Pakistani peoples, emphasizing the importance of maintaining fraternal solidarity. He then declared Sana’a’s firm opposition to the aerial offensive conducted by Pakistani fighter jets on Friday, November 6 (November 15). Al-Bakhiti described this action as a clear violation of Yemen’s national sovereignty and a dangerous escalation that cannot be overlooked or remain silent about.
The caretaker Yemeni Information Minister characterized Islamabad’s entry into the conflict as “practical cooperation with the Saudi regime in committing crimes against civilians.” He warned that the Pakistani government would be directly responsible for the consequences of these attacks and the loss of civilian lives.
Al-Bakhiti further detailed recent coalition attacks, stating that Saudi Arabian fighter jets, in just two days, caused a humanitarian catastrophe by bombing the “Al-Hadara” market in the Al-Wazi’iyah district of Taiz province and destroying six residential homes in the village of “Al-Shariyah” in the Bani Hushaish district of Sana’a province. These attacks resulted in the deaths of 74 individuals and left 53 others injured.
He deemed these actions a clear violation of international treaties and Islamic principles. In conclusion, Al-Bakhiti expressed hope for a reconsideration by Pakistani authorities, stressing that the continuation of this dangerous participation would inflict irreparable damage on the long-standing fraternal relations between the two nations.
