\u201cThe highest goals of the Presidential Council will be [securing] peace and ending human suffering,\u201d he told world leaders gathered for the high-level debate at the UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n
As such, he continued, Yemen was now \u201con the path to restoring the State, ending the coup, restoring the system of rights and freedoms, equal citizenship, and ensuring that women and youth are empowered to create their own future and build the desired peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Al-Alimi affirmed the new Council\u2019s adherence to the ideals of peace, in accordance with the terms of reference for a comprehensive solution to the Yemeni crisis set out in the Gulf Initiative and the relevant Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n
He also stated the Presidential Leadership Council\u2019s commitment to establishing \u201can approach consistent with the Charter and functions of the United Nations, facilitating the work of its humanitarian agencies, political missions, and related oversight mechanisms, ensuring the political, economic and social rights of women, and preventing the exploitation of children and their recruitment into hostilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Terrorist groups remain a danger<\/h2>\n
At the same time, Mr. Al-Alimi warned of the consequences of ongoing uncertainty in Yemen, saying that if progress on the political process slowed, \u201cmilitias and terrorist groups are more dangerous in their cross-border threats, as well as their egregious violations of human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
He accused the Ansar Allah group (Houthis) of \u201coverturning\u201d the national consensus emanating from the Comprehensive National Dialogue Conference, which ended in January 2014 with the participation of all Yemeni forces and parties, including the Houthis.”\/p><\/p>\n
Yet, he said, Houthi militias were impeding the presentation of the new draft constitution to a popular referendum, \u201cand launched a massive invasion campaign to the capital Sana\u2019a and the cities of Yemen and were threatening the President of the country and the Government of National Accord to Aden and \u2026 declared war on neighboring countries and the world at large.\u201d<\/p>\n
Devastating repercussions of war<\/h2>\n
The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council said that the devastating war in his country has today become a real threat to regional security and was impacting international shipping lanes and the entire global energy supply.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and injured over the past years and thrown more than 20 million into the cycle of starvation,\u201d he explained, noting that hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, and more than four million internally displaced persons (IDPs) now faced \u201cextremely harsh conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Al-Alimi added that epidemics and floods related to climate changes annually brought costly death and destruction with the collapse of the Government\u2019s protection and care network, \u201cwhich limits our options to save lives, particularly in light of the intransigence of terrorist militias, their rejection of all endeavors to achieve sustainable peace, and to rebuild and develop our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Renewing Truce<\/h2>\n
With the end of the humanitarian truce approaching, the Yemeni official reminded the Assembly of the Presidential Command Council\u2019s commitment to all elements of the truce, \u201cstarting with conducting regular commercial flights to Sanaa airport and facilitating the entry of oil derivatives ships to the ports of Hodeidah.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the same time, he accused the \u201cHouthi militias\u201d of seeking a pretext to thwart the truce and impede international efforts to renew it and build on its progress towards achieving comprehensive peace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
