Sana'a - (Saba):
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Jamal Amer met on Sunday with UN Resident Coordinator Julien Harneis.
During the meeting, Minister Amer listened to a report from the Resident Coordinator on the practical steps to implement the Taiz water supply project, emphasizing the importance of development projects that serve citizens.
The meeting discussed the repercussions of the Zionist aggression on Sana'a Airport and the targeting of Yemenia Airlines aircraft, most notably the problem of stranded citizens unable to return to their homeland, as well as the many expatriates and students unable to leave via Sana'a Airport.
The meeting also addressed the problem of transporting medicines and medical and therapeutic supplies that require air transport, particularly those for kidney transplants, chronic diseases, and kidney patients.
During the meeting, the Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized the importance of urgent solutions for transporting medicines and medical and therapeutic supplies, as these are urgent humanitarian issues.
Minister Amer delivered two letters to the UN Resident Coordinator addressed to the UN leadership, represented by the President of the General Assembly, the President of the Security Council, and the Secretary-General.
The two letters demanded a correction in Yemen's representation at the United Nations and an end to the other party's practices that threaten the country's unity and sovereignty and undermine peace efforts.
In the first letter, Minister Amer addressed the current status of Yemen's representation at the United Nations, stressing the need to correct the process to ensure legitimate and effective representation.
He affirmed that Sana'a respects the UN Charter and called for the implementation of its principles and spirit, particularly those related to national sovereignty, the right to self-determination, and legitimate representation. He considered the continued assignment of Yemen's seat to an entity that lacks any constitutional, realistic, or popular status a legal and political paradox that undermines the rights of the Yemeni people, harms the credibility of the United Nations, and hinders any chance of genuine peace.
The letter emphasized that the only effective authority exercising true sovereignty on the ground is the Supreme Political Council and the Government of Change and Construction, which resides in the capital, Sana'a. These authorities manage the interests of the majority of the Yemeni people, oversee vital institutions, and derive their legitimacy from the unshakable will of the people.
In his letter, Minister Amer described the so-called "Presidential Leadership Council" as a "product of foreign will," lacking any constitutional, popular, or geographical legitimacy, and whose decisions are dictated by its creators and funders. He emphasized that continuing to grant this entity the right to speak on behalf of Yemen is an admission that foreign wills prevail over national will, which is in stark contradiction to Article 2, Paragraph 7 of the UN Charter.
The letter addressed the widespread chaos and systematic collapse in the areas nominally under the authority of the so-called "Presidential Leadership Council," accompanied by widespread popular protests and repeated demonstrations rejecting the authority of this entity.
In the second letter, the Foreign Minister expressed grave concern over the systematic and dangerous escalation led by the other party, explaining that these unilateral measures, which contravene Security Council resolutions and international humanitarian law, have become a "systematic war," targeting citizens in their most basic rights and aiming to forcibly establish a separatist reality.
