The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e, announced the implementation of a maritime embargo against the Saudi regime in accordance with “siege for siege” principle.
In a statement issued on Monday, General Sare’e reviewed the KSA’s siege oppressing the Yemeni people in addition to the recent aggression which targeted Sanaa International Airport, affirming readiness for any escalation.
What follows is the full text of the statement:
The criminal Saudi enemy continues its unjust and oppressive siege on our dear people for nearly twelve years, plundering our resources and imposing a comprehensive blockade on our ports and airports by land, sea, and air.
This has exacerbated the suffering of our dear people to an unbearable level, without any right or justification.
This is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated, as it is based on no legal or humanitarian right or justification and has no legitimacy whatsoever, It is an invalid and aggressive siege, with its disastrous consequences for our dear Yemeni people, began by the targeting of Sana’a International Airport in a cruel and treacherous attack on our country.
Our people cannot endure this unjust siege and aggression without taking a stand, our great people are a faithful and resilient people, a people of faith and wisdom, with a just cause, and they have the full right to confront this unjust siege and aggression by all available means.
Therefore, and in response to the calls of our dear, valiant people for the great million-man demonstration on the Friday of Warning and Mobilization, and the preceding large tribal gatherings and rallies.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm the following:
First: The Yemeni Armed Forces declare a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of “an eye for an eye,” effective immediately upon the issuance of this statement.
Second: We affirm the right of our great people to respond to the blockade with a blockade, and to respond to all escalation with all escalation, thus solidifying this equation.
Third: The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their complete readiness for all options, and any foolish act committed by the reckless Saudi enemy through all escalation will be met with a comprehensive and decisive escalation, by Allah’s will and power.
Fourth: We call upon the people of our great nation to continue the general mobilization and general call to arms, and to be fully prepared for all scenarios and developments, and to support the fronts with fighters.
Fifth: We extend our greetings with pride and reverence to our great Yemeni people who turned out in an unprecedented million-man March of Warning and Mobilization.
