Yemeni unity historic strategic achievement achieved by popular will as irreversible principle and choice

Sana'a - Saba:
From a religious and national perspective, Yemeni unity remains, for all free Yemenis, a constant and a crucial issue that cannot be abandoned or compromised, as the alternative is dispersion, division, fragmentation, and petty projects that serve only enemies and the greedy.
Despite all the events and turning points that Yemen has experienced over the past decade and a half, including the direct military aggression against the country by the same forces that conspire and hate Yemeni unity, the subsequent occupation of a portion of Yemeni territory, and the establishment of militia entities affiliated with the aggression coalition, whose primary goal is to undermine the unity of Yemenis and sow the seeds of division and conflict among them, unity has endured and remained steadfast and impervious to all challenges and conspiracies.
The achievement of Yemeni unity 35 years ago was a historic and exceptional event, considered by all free Arab peoples to be the nucleus or first building block on the path to Arab unity and the starting point for emerging from the state of disintegration and division imposed by colonialism and foreign occupation. This was reflected in President Mahdi Al-Mashat's speech, which emphasized that Yemeni unity was not merely a national achievement, but rather represented the true nucleus and first building block toward achieving comprehensive Arab unity.
A careful reading of the speeches of the revolutionary and political leadership, including President Al-Mashat's speech last night on the occasion of the 35th National Day of the Republic of Yemen, May 22, reveals the wise vision regarding national unity as a principle and an irreversible choice, based on Allah Almighty's directives to His faithful servants to unite and reject division and disunity, given their dangerous consequences in this world and the hereafter.
Therefore, President Al-Mashat's speech was clear regarding his commitment to Yemeni unity. He stated that this was not out of emotion, but rather out of faith, patriotism, rationality, and Arabism, it also stems from awareness and understanding that fragmentation is not a solution, and that the mistakes of the past cannot be addressed through division and separation, but rather through fairness, justice, and reform, ensuring the rights and fair participation of all Yemenis.
With this fair and rational vision, the leadership closes the door to all those who attempt to exploit unity under any pretext, it demonstrates a strong commitment to fairness, justice, reform, the realization of rights, and the provision of opportunities for fair participation for all, far removed from fragmentation and division.
Unity, in the eyes of the leadership and all free Yemenis, is a crucial issue and an integral part of Yemen's unifying identity, it is a strategic achievement that cannot be compromised or renounced, this is why President Al-Mashat warned the aggressor states and their affiliated militias against any attempt to undermine Yemeni unity.
Despite the Yemeni people, leadership, and army's current preoccupation with supporting the brotherly Palestinian people in confronting the Israeli aggression on Gaza as a central issue, a principle of faith, and a promise made by Yemen to its betrayed Arab and Islamic brothers in Gaza, His Excellency the President affirmed the continuation of jihad and struggle until the liberation of every inch of the Yemeni Republic's territory and the expulsion of the invading occupiers.
There is no doubt that all forces, including the occupying forces, will take into account everything issued by the leadership in Sana'a, now that everyone has witnessed the sincerity of its intentions and its uncompromising stance on matters related to national principles and sovereignty, a fact that has been proven over time.
One of the most important messages contained in the speech of the President of the Supreme Political Council was to remind all those who bet on foreign powers that their bet is a losing bet, and that this path leads to destruction and failure. Adherence to the people's choice, however, is the path to a better future.
In this context, President Al-Mashat addressed the deplorable state of those who betrayed Yemeni unity and ended up living in hotels and foreign capitals, while the people of the occupied territories face hardship and hardship, the woes of collapse, and a lack of services.
He described the state of affairs of citizens in that beloved part of the country, which lies under the yoke of occupation, as sad, given the practices and violations they are subjected to by the subservient gang of vassalage to the occupier, this gang has not preserved public funds, the dignity of the people, or the independence of the nation, but has simultaneously exposed the dangerous model that the enemy seeks to implement and spread.
Among the messages is also the fact that the Yemeni people have remained united throughout history, despite the differences of nations and the succession of civilizations, even during the time of invasion and occupation, it remained united in the face of the challenges that threatened its unity and social fabric, just as it overcame attempts at division in the past and regionalization in the present, it is capable of breaking all attempts to divide it and dismantle its historical structure.
President Al-Mashat's speech was full of expressions of pride and appreciation for the blessed unity of the nation, he considered it a national and historical achievement, not limited to a particular region or group, but rather a natural extension of a long history of national struggle.
In the leadership's view, Yemeni unity is not merely a geographical unity; it is a unity of hearts, destiny, and stance. Today, it represents the pride and honor of Yemen, guarantees its sovereignty, and is the safe haven that unites the people of Yemen under one umbrella, challenges cannot be faced, imbalances and mistakes can only be remedied through unity and unification.
Just as the Yemeni people were able to end the British occupation in the south of the country and achieve their independence after decades of domination, His Excellency the President indicated that this authentic people understands today, more than ever, the consequences of division and disunity sought by their enemies, having experienced the brutality of British colonialism and withstood the US-Saudi aggression over the past decade, this people cannot accept turning back the clock. Rather, they will continue to preserve the country's sovereignty and independence under the banner of unity, which guarantees the rights of all its citizens without prejudice.

Yemen bans use of foreign currency in local trade

Yemen's internationally-recognized government announced on Tuesday that all commercial transactions within areas under its control must be conducted using the Yemeni rial, prohibiting the use of foreign currencies for domestic trade and services. According to the state-run Saba news agency, the decision prohibits foreign currency use in transactions like tuition fees, medical expenses, rent and travel tickets, where foreign payment is not inherently required, reports citing foreign media. Ministers and provincial governors are tasked with enforcing the ban and reporting progress to the prime minister on a regular basis, Saba reported. This measure aims to strengthen the rial's sovereignty and stability. Currency traders in Aden told Xinhua that the rial surged to 1,617 per US dollar in government-controlled areas on Monday, a 40-percent recovery from nearly 2,900 weeks earlier. Yemen faces an unprecedented financial crisis after more than two years without oil revenue, which constitutes 70 percent of government income. The crisis deepened following Houthi attacks on oil export facilities in southern Yemen in late 2022, and amid the prolonged conflict since 2014. The war-torn Arab nation remains divided between the internationally-recognised government based in Aden and the Houthis that control the capital Sanaa and northern regions.

The U.S. urged the Houthis to engage in good-faith negotiations and not ignore the Yemeni people's plea for peace. Ambassador Mills concluded by reinforcing the global consensus: 'There is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen.'

UN Envoy Warns Regional Turmoil Threatens Fragile Peace in Yemen

Aden - The United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen has issued a stark warning that escalating regional tensions could unravel the fragile peace process in Yemen, jeopardizing years of diplomatic progress and humanitarian efforts. Speaking before the UN Security Council on Tuesday, Envoy Hans Grundberg emphasized that while Yemen has witnessed a relative lull in large-scale hostilities, the situation remains precarious. 'The conflict in Yemen is not isolated,' Grundberg said. 'It is deeply intertwined with broader regional dynamics, and recent developments risk reigniting violence.' Rising Regional Tensions The warning comes amid heightened instability in the Red Sea region and renewed hostilities between neighboring states. Analysts fear that external actors could exploit Yemen's internal divisions, fueling proxy conflicts and undermining peace negotiations. Grundberg pointed to recent cross-border attacks and political maneuvering by regional powers as signs that the conflict could escalate. 'Yemen's peace is fragile, and it cannot be sustained in a vacuum,' he noted. Diplomatic Efforts at Risk The UN-led peace initiative, which has facilitated prisoner exchanges and temporary ceasefires, now faces significant challenges. Grundberg urged all parties to recommit to dialogue and avoid actions that could derail the process. 'The Yemeni people have endured unimaginable suffering,' he said. 'They deserve a future free from war, and that future depends on the restraint and cooperation of regional stakeholders.' Humanitarian Concerns The humanitarian situation remains dire, with over 21 million people in need of assistance. Aid agencies warn that renewed conflict could further restrict access to food, medicine, and shelter. Grundberg concluded his address with a call for unity: 'We must not allow regional turmoil to extinguish the fragile hope that has begun to take root in Yemen.'
