Hadi threatens to resign in protest to Saudi-UAE joint statement

ADEN, Sept. 10 (YPA) – Political sources in Riyadh said on Monday that the exiled Hadi’s government had rejected the content of the joint statement of the Emiratis and Saudi Arabia announced yesterday, and that Hadi has even threatened to resign.

The sources confirmed that Hadi called for an urgent meeting on Monday in order to discuss the joint statement and to see what it said, which totally ignored all acts of sabotage of the Emiratis and strengthened the militias of the Southern Transitional Council in control of the city of Aden and the rest of the southern provinces.

According to news agency The News of the Day, the Islah party’s newspaper reports that Hadi’s government will work to end the tasks of its committee in charge of the Jeddah Dialogue, headed by Islah leader Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.

On the other hand, the media advisor to the embassy of the Hadi administration in Riyadh, Anis Mansour, has confirmed that Hadi has threatened to resign in protest against the joint statement and pressures he is exposed to from the Saudi side.

Senior Hadi government officials are outraged and dismayed by the joint statement of Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and Hadi’s government is in a position not to be encouraged by the coalition’s and the kingdom’s positions.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) issued a joint statement on Monday, which contradicted an earlier Saudi statement, which explicitly called for the return of state institutions and camps in Aden to Hadi’s government.
