According to Barkhat News International Service, quoted from Fars, Mohammad Nasser Al-Atafi, the Minister of Defense of the National Salvation Government of Yemen (Sanaa), visited the operational fronts of Al-Jawf province today (Monday).
Faraan: Al-Masira news channel reported, quoting al-Atafi, “Today, more than ever before, the armed forces of Yemen have all the factors of strategic and deterrent weapon power at their disposal.”
He stated: “We warn the aggressor coalition about the continuation of the war and the cruel siege of the Yemeni nation. If the enemies continue on a path whose end is uncertain, their fate will be failure and they will join the dustbin of history.” This Yemeni minister stated that any hand that reaches towards the Yemeni territory will be cut off, and pointed out: “The same time when the Saudi enemy thought that Al-Jawf province had joined its territory, it ended… anyone who can return al-Jawf to the geography of Yemen, can take back all the territory of Yemen. There is no debate on national sovereignty over all [Yemen’s] lands.”
Yesterday, the Yemeni parliament, by issuing a statement, criticized and emphasized the abuse of the ceasefire agreement by the aggressor Saudi-Emirati coalition in this country. The purpose of the ceasefire was to prove goodwill, which is a prelude to a comprehensive and just solution for the crisis in Yemen. Of course this is in a way that brings security and stability to this country and the countries of the region.
The two-month ceasefire in Yemen started on the 13th of April this year, but it was on the 12th of June that the United Nations envoy for Yemen affairs, Hans Grundberg, announced that the parties involved in Yemen agreed to the same terms as the original agreement to be extended next month (11th of August). The Saudi-Emirati coalition does not have many options to get the leaders of Sana’a to agree to extend this ceasefire, and Sana’a is completely against extending it in its current form. “Hans Grundberg”, the UN special envoy for Yemen affairs, recently said in a statement about the difficulty of extending the ceasefire and pointed out some shortcomings in its full implementation.
