Kerman accuses “legitimacy and its components” of treason
SANAA, March 9 (YPA) – Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman, a Yemeni journalist and rights activist, and Nobel Peace Prize co-laureate announced a new revolution against what she called “the legitimate dependence of foreign guardianship, the Saudi ambassador and the legalization of the occupation of Yemen”.
The move came during her speech in a conference titled Titled “Post-War Yemen: A Forward-looking Vision,” held in in Istanbul.
“There is a power vacuum, the decisions written by the Saudi ambassador, the signature of Hadi and his prime minister do not represent us, nor the legitimacy,” She said.
Karman added: “Hadi at his best is incapacitated and detained, which makes him unqualified, and makes his decisions non-binding to Yemenis as long as he is incapacitated and restricted in freedom. He cannot say no to the Saudi ambassador, as well as who is bigger.”
She accused Hadi’s government of treason and handing Yemen over to occupation, saying: “Legitimacy has been transformed into a tool that legitimizes the foreign occupier occupying the country, and it is not a blank cheque. It is a dependent for the occupier and external guardianship.”
Karman continued: “The leaders of legitimacy “were satisfied to be mere tools in this war, agents, not leaders, followers, not equal partners, good will, bad faith.” Noting that all components of legitimacy are dependence.
“Since the beginning of the coalition war, all these components, including Islah Party are only tools in the hands of Saudi Arabia, like the STC, Tariq forces and elite forces,” she said.
She condemned the coalition for deliberately “destroying Yemen, seeking to dismantle it and dividing it into weak states dependent on Saudi Arabia and the UAE.”
“Karman reviewed the catastrophic humanitarian tragedy caused by the coalition in Yemen and the Yemenis’ impoverished people, diseases and famine.”
She accused Saudi Arabia of plundering Yemen’s wealth and controlling Yemen’s strategic position is crucial, and it doesn’t care if Yemen remains divided and chaotic, and in a state of rupture and small internal divisions.”
She called for the formation of “a field command that will be the source of the decision to free itself from the guardianship and occupation of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and its alliance.”
