Al-Farah: Real peace requires Saudi regime to accept failure and respect Yemenis’ rights
SANAA, Oct. 12 (YPA) – Mohammed Al-Farah, a member of the Ansarullah Political Bureau, said lasting peace in Yemen requires the Saudi regime to acknowledge the failure of its aggression and its inability to subdue the Yemeni people.
He stressed that peace must not come at the expense of people’s rights or become a temporary truce that allows renewed aggression when circumstances change.
In a post on X, Al-Farah said Yemenis had spent years calling for an end to the aggression and blockade, but their appeals had not received the necessary response.
He said this had strengthened the view that the Saudi enemy must recognize the suffering it has inflicted and accept that its objectives cannot be achieved by force.
Al-Farah stressed that Yemen’s calls for peace reflected a desire to end the aggression and suffering, not weakness or retreat.
He warned that any settlement that fails to address the roots and consequences of the aggression could collapse if the Saudi side treats a halt in fighting as an opportunity to regroup and resume escalation later.
Al-Farah added that ending the aggression before the Saudi regime genuinely recognizes the failure of its military option could lead it to view the cessation of hostilities as a temporary consequence of regional and international circumstances, including the United States and Gulf states being preoccupied with other crises, rather than as proof that Yemen cannot be subdued or stripped of its independent decision-making.
He said credible guarantees, respect for sovereignty and recognition of people’s rights must form the basis of any future settlement. Agreements built on temporary calculations and shifting balances of power, he warned, cannot provide lasting protection against renewed aggression.
Al-Farah argued that delayed peace may help prevent another round of aggression by ensuring the Saudi regime does not mistake a halt in fighting for temporary weakness.
He also warned that wealth, influence and military power can fuel arrogance and miscalculation when those who possess them disregard the limits of their power and the rights of others.
Al-Farah concluded that Yemen’s experience underscores the need to abandon domination and respect the sovereignty of states and the rights of peoples. He said Yemenis remain confident that the outcome of events is not determined by material power alone.
