Dr. Bin Habtoor congratulates revolution leader & president Al-Mashat on Yemeni Republic 35th National Day
Sana'a - Saba:
Dr. Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtoor, a member of the Supreme Political Council, sent a congratulatory message to the Revolution Leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badruddin al-Houthi, and His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, on the occasion of the 35th National Day of the Yemeni Republic, May 22.
In his message, the Supreme Political Council member extended warmest congratulations to the Revolution Leader, the President and members of the Supreme Political Council, as well as the heads of the Consultative, Ministerial, and Parliamentary Councils, the Supreme Judiciary, the steadfast defenders on all fronts—and through them, to all the people of Yemen on this national occasion, which marks the most significant achievement in the life of the Yemeni nation.
He affirmed that this great national milestone embodied the will of the Yemeni people, from Aden in the south to Sa'ada in the north, and from Al-Mahra in the east to Midi in the west, reflecting their long struggle to restore Yemeni unity. He highlighted the pivotal events that preceded this historic achievement, culminating in the historic declaration on May 22, 1990.
Dr. Bin Habtoor emphasized that the significant challenges faced by the unified state—both past and present—have not and will not undermine this great national accomplishment, including the divisive agendas , the separatist tendencies backed by the Saudi-Emirati occupiers and their supporters.
He pointed out that in these critical times, particularly in the southern and eastern provinces, the conviction in the importance of national unity and the dangers of division—which only serve the enemies of the nation and their mercenaries—has grown stronger.
Dr. Bin Habtoor noted that Yemen's history, both ancient and modern, demonstrates that its most prosperous, stable, and civilized eras were under a unified Yemeni state, while periods of division were marked by conflict and instability.
He stressed that Yemen's strength, stability, and dignity lie in unity, which has proven to be a source of prosperity not only for Yemen but also for its Arab and African neighbors. He prayed to Almighty Allah that this occasion would return with a decisive victory over the nation's enemies, the complete liberation of Yemeni territory, and the deepening of unity in the hearts and minds of all.

Somalia's Puntland Releases 26 Yemeni Fishermen
Hadramaut – The authorities of Somalia's Puntland State have released 26 Yemeni fishermen who had been detained earlier for entering Somali territorial waters without official permits—a move widely welcomed as a reflection of regional cooperation and humanitarian understanding. The fishermen had been held since May 14, 2025, while working aboard the fishing vessel 'Maymoon-1.' Their release came after intensive diplomatic efforts led by the Yemeni government, represented by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Fisheries, in coordination with local authorities in Hadramaut and the Yemeni Embassy in Mogadishu. Puntland's judicial authorities decided to waive all fines and return the confiscated fishing equipment, a decision described as 'a humanitarian act that highlights the historic bonds between the Somali and Yemeni peoples.' The fishermen arrived at the port of Al-Sheher on Sunday, June 8, where they were received by local officials and underwent medical checkups amid scenes of joy and relief.

Yemen to launch National Knowledge, Innovation Index amid Intel exclusions
Sana'a – Saba: Yemen is developing its own National Knowledge and Innovation Index (YKII), a strategic move aimed at accurately monitoring and directing the nation's capabilities in science, research, and technology. This initiative comes as Yemen has been largely excluded from or given low rankings in international indices, often due to perceived political considerations, according to Dr. Abdulaziz al-Houri, Vice Chairman of the General Authority for Science, Research, Technology and Innovation. Dr. al-Houri highlighted the urgent need for this national index, citing the absence of a comprehensive national framework for measuring knowledge and innovation, along with pressing economic and social challenges. The index is seen as crucial for supporting reconstruction and development, fostering cooperation between public and private sectors in research and development, encouraging investment, and keeping pace with global advancements. It will also enhance transparency, accountability, and the assessment of public policy impacts. The Authority is collaborating with partners, notably the Central Statistical Organization, to finalize the YKII's draft. This index will identify knowledge gaps in Yemeni society, guide efforts to bridge them through informed policies, and provide a national database for evidence-based decision-making. Expected Impact and Objectives: The project is anticipated to bring wide-ranging benefits, including: Improving education quality and outcomes to meet labor market and development needs. Increasing the quantity and quality of research output, enhancing its relevance to societal challenges. Stimulating innovation and creativity, and boosting competitiveness. Contributing to sustainable development goals by leveraging knowledge and innovation. Enhancing local competitiveness among educational, research, and production entities. The primary objectives of the index are to: Assess the current state of knowledge and innovation nationally. Measure and track scientific, technological, and innovative progress. Improve national and local innovation policies by identifying strengths and weaknesses. Provide reliable information for policymakers, researchers, investors, and stakeholders. Help re-prioritize efforts to encourage creativity, scientific research, and youth empowerment. Index Framework and Next Steps: The YKII's general framework comprises two main aspects: Innovation Inputs: This includes six axes with 42 indicators covering education, research and development, investment, the knowledge workforce, communications and information technology, and institutions. Innovation Outputs: This consists of three axes with 20 indicators focused on innovation, creativity, and knowledge. Dr. al-Houri detailed the steps taken so far, which include studying evidence for composite indicators, examining global and regional indices, developing a methodology, and preparing an initial draft guide. Current and future steps involve finalizing the draft, piloting and testing the index, obtaining official approval, and finally, the launch of the National Knowledge and Innovation Index 2025. Dr. al-Houri called upon all state institutions to enhance cooperation with the General Authority for Science, Research, Technology and Innovation, emphasizing its vital role in advancing innovation and creativity for Yemen's economic and social development.
