Governor of Aden: Saudi-Emirati attempts to lease port of Aden are hostile and unacceptable

SANAA, June 23 (YPA) – Governor of Aden, Tariq Sallam, has condemned the actions of Saudi-Emirati forces, labeling their attempts to lease the port of Aden as hostile and unacceptable.

Governor Salam has warned these regimes against continuing their efforts to destroy Yemen’s resources, plunder its wealth, and infringe upon the rights of the Yemeni people and their sovereign projects.

He pointed out that the Emirati ambitions towards the port of Aden and Yemeni ports did not emerge suddenly, but rather they have mobilized all their resources and capabilities to destroy it. They exploited licenses and the workforce of previous regimes to gain control over it.

Sallam emphasized that the Yemeni people reject this step, pointing out that Emirati ambitions towards the port of Aden and other Yemeni ports have long been in motion. He accused the UAE of using licenses and the workforce of previous regimes to gain control over the port.

He described the actions of the coalition’s mercenaries as blatant and illegal, characterizing them as hostile acts against the Yemeni people and signs of the coalition’s desperation.
