Yemen Presidential Leadership Council President Al-Alimi meets new ambassadors

President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, received the credentials of new ambassadors from the Czech Republic, Philippines, Spain, Nigeria, South Korea, France, Denmark, and Cuba. During the meetings, Al-Alimi discussed strengthening bilateral relations and expanding cooperation in political, economic, security, military, and humanitarian fields to support state institutions and alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people.

Al-Alimi characterized Houthi militia activities as organized terrorism supported by Iran, comparing their threat level to that of ISIS and Al-Qaeda. He specifically highlighted recent Houthi escalations, including attacks on Aden International Airport and Al-Rayyan civilian airport, as well as ongoing assaults and sieges in Taiz, Marib, and other provinces, which have resulted in civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction.

Separately, Fahd Al-Khulaifi, First Undersecretary of Shabwah Governorate, warned of cooperation between Houthi militias and terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. He alleged that the Houthis have provided drone technology to these groups. This warning follows a Houthi missile attack on a training center near Ataq, Shabwah, which reportedly killed over 70 people and wounded more than 200 security recruits.
