Change & Building Government... High capabilities in facing challenges

Saba Yemen17-05-2025
Sana'a - Saba:
The Government of Change and Building exerted tremendous and exceptional efforts last week, reflecting a sense of responsibility and its ability to confront the challenges imposed by the aggression, as well as fulfilling its duty to secure citizens' needs.
It worked diligently to maintain security stability and public tranquility, activating follow-up and coordination efforts in the main operations room of the Emergency Committee, implementing the outcomes of the Supreme Emergency Committee, countering hostile media misinformation , incitement campaigns, and conveying media messages domestically and internationally about the crimes of aggression.
Sana'a Airport and Hodeidah Port
With high determination, resolve, and a steadfast message from the heart of Sana'a to the world, the government—represented by the Ministry of Transport, Public Works, and the General Authority of Civil Aviation—rehabilitated and maintained Sana'a International Airport following the Zionist aggression, restoring its full operational and technical readiness to receive civilian flights in accordance with the requirements and standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
UN and international organization flights operating in the country resumed after a days-long halt due to the aggression, with all ground and navigational services provided as per international airport standards.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport and Public Works began maintenance operations at Hodeidah and Ras Issa ports to restore operational, technical, and professional readiness. Transport Minister Mohammed Al-Qahaim reviewed emergency measures taken to contain damages and ensure the continuous supply of essential goods to the country, alongside mechanisms to enhance coordination between relevant authorities to improve efficiency and expedite ship entry procedures.
Significant efforts are being made to regulate the entry and exit of ships to and from Hodeidah Port's docks, scheduling vessels, organizing unloading operations, ensuring smooth maritime traffic, and securing the delivery of vital supplies to the people.
The ministry plans to implement several programs aimed at strengthening Hodeidah Port's role in meeting the people's basic needs , enhancing its technical and operational capacity to accommodate increasing maritime traffic.
Support for Gaza
In commitment to the pledge and steadfastness in the Yemeni people's faith-driven stance in support of Gaza, massive marches and rallies continued throughout the week in the capital secretariat and various provinces in solidarity with the Palestinian people, condemning the genocide crimes they face, declaring a general mobilization to confront the aggression's escalation, and disavowing traitors and collaborators.
The Yemeni Armed Forces continued to enforce a ban on flights to Zionist airports, targeting Lod Airport (referred to as "Ben Gurion" by Israel) during the week using hypersonic ballistic missiles and a "Zulfiqar" ballistic missile.
External Communication
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates continued its diplomatic efforts in external communication with relevant UN bodies and organizations, in line with the requirements of the current phase amid developments on the national, regional, and international arenas. It worked to clarify the truth of what is happening, the justice of the Yemeni cause, and convey it to international forums.
The Foreign Ministry affirmed that repeated Zionist aggression on Yemeni ports will be met with a painful response, considering it proof of the Zionist entity's abject failure in achieving its goals in Yemen and an attempt to seek illusory achievements after its image was shattered before all.
UN Engagement
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief of the General Staff and Head of the National Team for Redeployment in Hodeidah, Major General Ali Al-Mushki, met with the Acting Head of the UN Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement (UNMHA), Marie Mashette. He urged the UN and its mission to play a key and active role in alleviating civilians' suffering and facilitating their movement amid repeated violations and attacks by aggression mercenaries in southern districts of Hodeidah—the latest being the martyrdom of an entire family in Hays district due to mercenaries firing tank shells at civilian houses, coinciding with Zionist aggression on civilian sites in Hodeidah.
Additionally, National Team member Major General Mohammed Al-Qadri called on the mission to visit secret prisons in Al-Khokha, Mocha, and Hays and expose the crimes committed against civilians by the criminal Tariq Afash.
Summer Activities
Summer activities and courses continue with great momentum across various provinces. Agricultural initiatives were launched to instill a culture of farming among students, encourage afforestation, and educate them on its positive role in resilience and supporting national economic growth—in line with the directives of the Revolution Leader to focus on agricultural activities and strive for self-sufficiency.
Last week, the gifted students' forums were launched as part of the summer activities in the fields of innovation, storytelling, poetry, drawing, theater, chants, public speaking, folkloric arts, and more. These activities were accompanied by theoretical lessons on first aid skills for victims of various accidents, as well as practical applications for dealing with disasters and emergencies.
Additionally, training workshops were held for the scouting teams participating in the summer activities to introduce them to the concepts, foundations, principles, objectives, organizational structure, traditions, and scouting skills, as well as methods for forming and organizing scouting teams. Participants also engaged in cultural and sporting activities and scouting displays.
In Sana'a, an art exhibition titled "Gaza's Cry" was inaugurated. Organized by the Fine Arts Sector of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with support and funding from the Heritage and Cultural Development Fund, the exhibition will run for a week.
The exhibition featured creative paintings crafted by a number of talented fine artists and students from summer schools, expressing the suffering of the people of Gaza and the importance of standing with, supporting, and advocating for the Palestinian cause. It also highlighted Yemen's brave and heroic stance in supporting Gaza and all of Palestine.
In appreciation of the supporters and contributors to the success of the summer programs, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Dr. Ali Al-Yafai, and the Secretary-General of the Capital, Dr. Hamoud Abbad, honored businessman Mohammed Al-Dawah for his support to the summer program students in the Capital Secretariat.
Maintaining Security
The government of change and building has been keen on maintaining security and stability while strengthening the country's national security. Accordingly, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, in coordination with the relevant security authorities, has launched a comprehensive field campaign to seize and confiscate prohibited "Starlink" devices and equipment. This comes after the expiration of the deadline granted to citizens and legal entities to surrender these devices.
The ongoing campaign aims to prevent the use of prohibited Starlink equipment, which poses a threat to national security and public safety and violates the regulations governing the telecommunications sector.
To protect the country's economic and national security amid the economic war, the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment organized a workshop on enhancing mechanisms to combat customs smuggling crimes.
Government agencies are working to establish a blacklist of those involved in smuggling operations and circulate their names to banks, financial institutions, airports, and border crossings to prevent dealings with them. This aims to protect local production and support localization plans and self-sufficiency.
The ministry approved an executive action plan to contribute to combating customs smuggling, activating operational rooms, and enhancing cooperation between government agencies. It also proposed legal amendments to toughen penalties against smugglers.
To expedite case resolutions and ensure justice, the Judicial Inspection Authority has instructed personal status judges to enforce compulsory division among heirs and include these procedures in court rulings on inheritance division cases.This is based on the provisions of compulsory division under civil law, which obligates judges to implement and include such divisions in their rulings.
According to the authority's findings from periodic and surprise inspections, merely issuing a ruling for division without enforcement prolongs compulsory division cases for years.
The Specialized Criminal Court in the Capital Secretariat began the trial of Ali Abdulaziz Abdullah Al-Sarfi, 25, accused of committing serial killings in the Sarf area. The charges involve brutally murdering three of his colleagues in premeditated attacks to steal their personal belongings.
Salary Disbursement
In line with the government's commitment to public service employees, the Ministries of Finance and Civil Service & Administrative Development began issuing financial supplements for March 2025 salaries to public service units included in the monthly payroll. This follows the state employee salary program under the exceptional mechanism law to ensure salary payments and reimburse small depositors.
Development Conference
As part of implementing the revolutionary leadership's directives to build a strong national economy, achieve self-sufficiency, and reduce import costs, the Government of Change and Construction organized the first Development and Popular Participation Conference over five days. The event included representatives from 51 districts, each represented by their district director and development coordinator.
The conference marked the launch of the first phase of integrated participatory development planning in 51 districts for the year 1447 AH, with community and government participation. It aimed to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable development under siege and aggression, improve public policies, and enhance planning, implementation, evaluation, and community participation methods. Additionally, it sought to exchange expertise, strengthen community engagement, assess economic and developmental interventions, and integrate mobilization efforts into local development.
The conference's objectives were divided into 14 themes, including reducing import costs, achieving economic empowerment, protecting the environment, as well as areas related to studies, preparation, and implementation of participatory plans, among others.

Turkish presidency strongly condemns Israeli assassination of reporters

Ankara - Saba: The Turkish presidency "strongly" condemned the Israeli entity's assassination of two Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip on Monday, indicating that the entity aims to cover up its genocide. According to Anadolu Agency, Burhaneddin Duran, head of the Turkish presidency's communications department, expressed his deep sorrow via the X platform on Monday over Israel's killing of five journalists, including Al-Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqea, in an airstrike targeting a journalists' tent near Al-Shifa Hospital west of Gaza City. Duran said, "I pray to God to have mercy on our journalist brothers who were martyred while performing their duty, and I offer my deepest condolences to their families." He continued, "Israel targets journalists to obscure the view of its mass massacres, which it commits without discrimination between infants, children, women, the elderly, and the sick. It seeks to destroy humanity and the truth." He added, "I strongly condemn Israel's systematic targeting of journalists, which constitutes a war crime that violates international law. I also strongly condemn Israel's lawless brutality and its attempts to conceal the truth." He added, "I remember with compassion the 237 journalists killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023. Israel will not be able to conceal this genocide and will be held accountable before the law." On Sunday evening, Al-Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqea, along with three other members of the channel's crew, were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a journalists' tent near Al-Shifa Hospital. With the martyrdom of al-Sharif and his colleagues, the number of journalists killed in the Gaza Strip has risen to 237 since the beginning of the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli entity on October 7, 2023, according to the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip.

Argentinian authors, actors express rejection to genocide in Gaza

Buenos Aires - Saba: In a statement titled "Gaza: Before It's Too Late," the Argentine Association of Socialist Intellectuals and Artists denounced the catastrophic humanitarian situation facing the residents of the Gaza Strip as a result of the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation, while condemning international complicity and the cultural silence surrounding the issue. According to the Palestinian WAFA News Agency, a large number of Argentine intellectuals, artists, writers, historians, and academics signed the statement. The number of signatories so far has reached approximately 1,200 prominent figures from various cultural, artistic, and academic fields. The statement stated: "In Gaza, every day presents an opportunity for a new escalation of horror. Over the past 21 months of genocide carried out by the State of Israel, supported by the United States and European powers, more than 60,000 Gazans have been killed, including approximately 20,000 children." "Since October 2023, the Strip has been subjected to a brutal blockade that severely restricts the entry of food, medicine, and essential aid, resulting in a total famine and tragic conditions, with people fainting and dying of starvation in the streets, hospitals overflowing with malnourished children, and communities completely destroyed." "The situation has never been more desperate than it is now, with Israel blocking the entry of thousands of trucks loaded with food and medicine," it added. Most of the aid is channeled through a private American company called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has replaced the role of the United Nations and is guarded by militias of American mercenaries. More than a thousand Gazans have been killed while distributing aid due to Israeli soldiers firing on crowds." "Israel has turned the Gaza Strip into an unbearable hell, where the choice is to starve or die searching for food, a horrific image of the lack of humanity before the eyes of the entire world." The signatories noted that "the shortage of drinking water, food, and medicine has reached a dangerous level, threatening permanent mass famine with irreversible damage." The impact on the population, especially children, has been reversible, and Gaza has become uninhabitable after the destruction of approximately 80% of its civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, schools, and shops, and more than two million people have been displaced. It also addressed the announcement by the Israeli Defense Minister last July of his intention to establish a detention camp in Rafah to detain the population, along with threats to expand the ethnic cleansing project to include the West Bank after the Israeli parliament voted on July 23 to annex the entire territory. The statement concluded by calling for "amplifying this cry and taking to the streets around the world to stop the most brutal genocide of our time, and to halt the State of Israel's genocide against Gaza before it is too late."
