Abdulsalam: British forces are occupying forces, we have right to target them

SANAA, Aug. 21 (YPA) – The head of the national negotiating delegation stressed that the British forces in Mahra and Socotra are occupying forces and the Yemeni army has the right to target them.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Khandaq website, Muhammad AbdulSalam said that the operations in Marib are continuing on a large scale.

He pointed out that “the Saudi side, in fact, does not want a political or a humanitarian solution, it wants something similar to disengagement and the perpetuation of the crisis.” The Omani mediation is “ongoing… We do not believe that the Saudi-Omani rapprochement can affect Oman’s historical and strategic role in the wars and its clear and explicit stance on the Yemen war and aggression against it.”

He added that Marib initiative is a humanitarian initiative and is still on the table, and it would have represented a key if the other side, whether Saudi or American, was serious about a solution.
