Violent means will not resolve any problems with Yemen: Deputy FM
No entity can resolve its problems with Yemen via violent means, Deputy Foreign Minister for the Sanaa government, Hussein al-Aazzi, stressed, adding that the only way these issues can be resolved is through "wisdom and dialogue."
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, al-Aazzi praised Saudi Arabia's position on the unraveling developments in the Red Sea and affirmed that the Sanaa government will continue to seek peace with surrounding governments.
The diplomat thanked the people of the United States and the United Kingdom who expressed support for the Yemeni people in the face of the ongoing aggression led by their governments against Yemen.
He called for efforts to bolster worldwide support for Yemen and "reject the aggressive policies adopted by America and Britain towards our region," explaining that Washington guises its aggressions with deceptive pretexts.
He pointed out that the US-British-led aggression executed approximately 300 strikes on Yemen, affirming that the United States "cannot escape punishment."
