Al-Qahhoum: The Americans must end their aggression
Ali Al-Qahhoum, a member of the Ansar Allah movement's political bureau, said that "the Americans should stop the aggression if they are serious."
Al-Qahhoum added in a statement to Al-Mayadeen that "the Yemeni people do not need anyone's recognition for their legitimacy," adding that "the American statements are not new and are evidence of duplicity after supporting the aggression."
Al-Qahhoum's words responded to America's announcement yesterday of the "Ansar Allah" movement, a legitimate party in Yemen.
During a discussion organized by the National Council on American-Arab Relations, Tim Lenderking, the US special envoy to Yemen, called on the international community to "pressure Ansar Allah to stop the offensive operations in Ma'rib."
The US envoy also warned that "the humanitarian programs in Yemen will stop unless contributions are increased in the next few months."
Regarding Linderking's statements, a member of the Political Bureau of Ansar Allah, Abdul Wahab al-Mahbashi, said that the statement of the US envoy "is an implicit recognition that America is behind the war on Yemen," adding that "the field's achievements are what forced the Americans to recognize Ansar Allah as a legitimate party."
In the same context, the Secretary of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Yasser Al-Houri, confirmed to Al-Mayadeen that "Ansar Allah and all the steadfast national forces in the face of aggression derive their legitimacy from the field and from the Yemeni people, with whom they defend the sovereignty and independence of Yemen."
It is worth noting that last February, Washington revoked former President Donald Trump's designation of the Yemeni "Ansar Allah" movement as a "terrorist organization."
President Joe Biden also announced last February that his administration would end the war on Yemen, stressing the cessation of all support for offensive operations on Yemeni soil.
