Rashad al-Alimi calls for mobilization and offers amnesty to Houthi defectors

Yemen civil war Rashad al-Alimi Houthi rebels general mobilization amnesty

Rashad al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, has issued a call for general national mobilization to support the country's armed and security forces. In a speech marking the 64th anniversary of the September 26 Revolution, Al-Alimi announced that the door for a safe return to the side of the republic is open for those currently aligned with the Houthi group.

To facilitate this, a comprehensive amnesty will be offered to Houthi members who defect and cease all fighting or work for the group. The government also pledged to settle the legal and professional status of military and security personnel to preserve their job rights. Al-Alimi emphasized that the ultimate goal of the government is to restore state institutions and extend sovereignty over the entire nation, including the capital, Sana’a.

The call for mobilization comes amid increased Houthi military advances in western Yemen and along the Red Sea coast, threatening critical maritime routes like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Simultaneously, humanitarian concerns are mounting; UNICEF reports that over 25 percent of screened children in certain areas are acutely malnourished, as renewed fighting continues to displace thousands of civilians.
