Yemeni military leadership visits frontline troops in Najran, al-Buqa', al-Ajasher, reaffirming Gaza support
A high-ranking delegation from the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, led by Deputy Chief of Military Operations Brigadier General Ismail Awadh, visited on Thursday frontline soldiers stationed in al-Buqa', Najran, and al-Ajasher coinciding with Eid al-Adha.
The visit aimed to review the conditions of the troops and commend their steadfastness and high morale amidst ongoing duties and holiday celebrations.
Brigadier General Awadh was accompanied by Brigadier General Mohammed Al-Sayani, Director of the Advanced Command and Control Center, and Colonel Mohammed Al-Shami, Director of Operations for the Ministry's Public Relations Department. They were welcomed by local commanders, including Brigadier General Ibrahim Jaber, Commander of the Al-Buqa' Axis and the 141st Brigade.
During his address, Brigadier General Awadh praised the soldiers' discipline and readiness, acknowledging their sacrifices while celebrating Eid al-Adha in positions of honor.
He also drew attention to the "heinous crimes" committed by the "Zionist entity" in Gaza, emphasizing Yemen's prominent position in supporting the Palestinian people and the global recognition of Yemen's steadfast stance. He attributed the Yemeni armed forces' "qualitative military development" to divine blessing and the leadership of Sayyid Abdulmalik al-Houthi, stressing the ongoing efforts to enhance military capabilities.
Echoing these sentiments, Brigadier General Al-Sayani lauded the combat readiness and morale of the forces, highlighting their "heroic deeds" against the "coalition of aggression and its mercenaries."
He underscored their vigilance and readiness to "continue the path of liberation and confront the forces of global arrogance, America, and the Zionist entity" in the "battle of the promised conquest and the holy jihad" in defense of the homeland and in support of Gaza.
Colonel Al-Shami also commended the soldiers' heroism and sacrifices, stating that their contributions, alongside the free people of Yemen, have brought about "victory, honor, and dignity."
In response, the frontline forces reaffirmed their high readiness to execute assigned tasks, renewing their pledge of loyalty to God, the homeland, the people, and the leadership, vowing to remain steadfast in defending Yemen and supporting their "brothers in Gaza," regardless of the challenges.

World Elders Council: Israel deliberately blocking aid from entering Gaza
London - Saba: The World Elders Council, which includes prominent world leaders, confirmed that Israel is deliberately blocking aid from entering the Gaza Strip, warning that the Strip faces the risk of genocide as a result of obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid, which is exacerbating the famine crisis. The group said in a statement on Tuesday that a delegation from the group visited the border crossings with Egypt and witnessed firsthand the deliberate prevention of life-saving aid from entering the Strip, according to Quds Press. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark explained after visiting Rafah crossing that "many mothers are unable to provide food for themselves or their newborns, in light of the collapse of the health system," calling on Israel to open the crossing urgently. The statement indicated that the delegation saw evidence of the prevention of food and medical aid from entering and heard testimonies of the killing of Palestinian civilians, including children, while trying to obtain aid inside Gaza. The London-based council, founded by former South African President Nelson Mandela in 2007, called for the recognition of the State of Palestine, an immediate suspension of arms transfers and their components to Israel, and the imposition of sanctions on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court. The statement emphasized that recognition of the State of Palestine "will not alone be sufficient to halt the impending genocide and famine" in the Gaza Strip.

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.

Ambassador Mills concluded by reinforcing the global consensus: 'There is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen.'
