The Arab League has stressed its continued support to Yemen’s legitimate government and President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
During an emergency meeting held on Thursday at the level of representatives in Cairo at Yemen’s request, the League supported the Arab Coalition especially in the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah.
The Gulf initiative, national dialogue and UN Security Council decisions are the basis for a political settlement, it said after the meeting that was chaired by the Sultanate of Oman.
The Council condemned all human rights violations committed by Houthi insurgents, including killings, kidnappings and enforced disappearances.
It also condemned the Houthis’ siege of Yemeni cities and called on them to withdraw from Hodeidah to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to Yemen.
The statement called on all political parties and powers in Yemen to set their differences aside and work on resolving their problems through dialogue under the leadership of the legitimate government.
It also advised them to avoid political disputes to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis, which has reached difficult stages.
