Yemeni Foreign Minister censured the press statement issued by the Security Council yesterday, and its attempt to overturn the facts in a clear bias with the US-Saudi party, ignoring the deteriorating humanitarian situation during the past eight years.
Minister Hisham Sharaf stressed that the demands of Sana’a are clear and purely human rights, which somewhat reduce the repercussions of the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world, created by the US-Saudi aggression, according to Saba news agency.
He demanded the Security Council to assume its responsibilities to end the military aggression and the comprehensive blockade, saying: “The aggression and the blockade in Yemen is contrary to the United Nations Charter in Preserving International Peace and Security. Thus the Security Council must not turn into an international platform that justifies and legitimizes the agenda and politics of the aggression.
The Foreign Minister stressed the need for concerted efforts locally, regionally and internationally to achieve a just and sustainable peace that serves the Yemeni people.
He renewed the call to all the people in the world to realize the seriousness of the position of Sana’a, which was expressed by the Supreme Political Council, indicating that the demands of Sana’a are humanitarian and aim to ensure the success of any truce that may be agreed upon.
Describing the recent truce, he said it was a state of no war and no peace, but prolonging the effects of the siege and aggression, demanding the Security Council and the UN special envoy not to be satisfied with working to extend unhelpful truce after another.
Minister Sharaf pointed out that the Yemeni people want to end the military aggression, leave the comprehensive siege, deal with the economic and living effects of aggression, rebuilding and reconstruction, finding neighboring relations based on mutual respect and not interfering in internal affairs.
