Rashad al-Alimi vows to continue Fajr al-Yaman operation to end Houthi coup

Rashad al-Alimi, President of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, has declared that the “Fajr al-Yaman” (Dawn of Yemen) military operation is proceeding toward its final goal of ending the Houthi militia coup. Al-Alimi stated that all opportunities for de-escalation with the armed factions have been exhausted, making the decision to pursue this operation irreversible.

The operation aims to restore state institutions, secure the country, and return the authority over war and peace exclusively to constitutional state bodies. Al-Alimi noted that the military efforts are supported by Saudi Arabia and other allies. He emphasized that the Houthi threat is not limited to specific regions but poses a danger to the security and freedom of all Yemenis, north and south.

Additionally, the President reaffirmed the council's commitment to the justice of the Southern Cause and supported the South-South dialogue sponsored by Saudi Arabia. He praised the sacrifices made by military units and local resistance in southern provinces and emphasized that protecting the security of the south is an integral part of national responsibility.
