Hadi Gov. Official: KSA, UAE Insulted, Humiliated, Weakened Hadi
The deputy speaker of the House of Representatives loyal to the Hadi government, Abdul Aziz Jabbari, clarifies that he will return in the coming days to Yemen "to declare a national front to rescue the country."
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives loyal to Hadi's government in Yemen, Abdul Aziz Jabbari, said that "Saudi Arabia and the UAE have insulted, humiliated and weakened President Hadi, and threatened and prevented him from returning to Yemen."
Jabbari said in press statement that "in the coming days, we will return to Yemen and declare a national front to save the country," explaining that "the solution in Yemen must be political and peaceful, and peace cannot be achieved without the presence of the state."
He also pointed out that "Saudi Arabia and the UAE will still not allow the government to export gas or oil or arm the army, while the economy is collapsing, and the people falling victims."
Jabbari pointed out that "the call for national salvation and ending the war includes everyone," adding that "foreigners cannot defend our country, and those deciding the fate of Yemen at the moment are non-Yemeni factions."
Yemeni decision-making has been confiscated
The Hadi-loyalist Deputy Speaker also confirmed that "Yemeni decision-making has been confiscated, and work is being done to establish militias in all cities that would answer to non-Yemeni forces," stressing that "we have been calling for correcting the relationship with the coalition for years, but to no avail."
Jabbari explained that what the "brothers", as he called them, would prefer "defeat over accepting constructive criticism from any side."
KSA employs "threats, incentives" to end UN investigation in Yemen
Yesterday, political officials and diplomatic and activist sources reported to Inside The Guardian that Saudi Arabia initiated a lobbying campaign to shut down a UN investigation of human rights violations committed by the Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen, using "incentives and threats."
As a result of Saudi efforts, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) voted in October against extending the independent war crimes investigation. The vote marked the first defeat of a resolution in the Geneva body’s 15-year history.
Political officials and diplomatic and activist sources reported to The Guardian inside information regarding the lobbying pressure described as a stealth campaign in which the Saudis appear to have influenced officials to guarantee the defeat of the measure.
