President al-Mashat calls coalition countries to stop aggression, lift siege, engage in real peace negotiations

SANAA, May 21 (YPA) – President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Thursday renewed his call for Saudi-led coalition countries to stop their aggression, lift the siege, and engage in real peace negotiations.

“It is time for the aggression countries to realize the catastrophe of continuing their futility and blatant interference in the affairs of Yemen and Yemenis,” President al-Mashat said in a speech on the occasion of the 30 anniversary of the Yemeni Unity Day.

President al-Mashat affirmed the Republic of Yemen’s keenness on peace and its continuous support for the efforts of the UN envoy.

He pointed out that the announcement of the cease-fire by the aggression coalition leadership would have been a positive step, “but the days have proven that it was just a declaration for media.”

“While we confirm our keenness on peace, in return we pledge to our people to confront escalation with escalation,” he said.

Al-Mashat welcomed the returnees to the homeland, once again calling on all misled people to benefit from the general amnesty.

He emphasized that the cooperation is needed to tackle the risks of the Corona pandemic, calling on the international community and humanitarian organizations to play their role in providing aid and breaking the restrictions of the blockade.
