At its meeting on Tuesday, chaired by the President of the Council of Representatives, Brother Yahya Ali Al-Ra’i, the Council of Representatives reiterated its condemnation of the arbitrary actions of the mercenaries of the aggression concerning the suspension of Yemen flights, the sole carrier of passengers to and from Sana’a International Airport.
The Council stressed that if there is a disagreement between the management of the Yemeni airline and its branches, it is first of all to take into account the suffering of the Yemeni people by allowing other airlines to organize flights for Yemeni passengers to and from Sana ‘a International Airport to alleviate that suffering, and to facilitate the travel of patients, scholars, traders and stuck abroad.
The Council called on the international community and the United Nations to put an end to such actions and abuses contrary to new travel agreements and to add new flights along with those agreed to in Jordan, India and Egypt.
The members of the Council noted that these measures were aimed at impeding the endeavors and efforts of peace and Omani mediation, increasing the suffering of the Yemeni people, as well as the consequences of aggression and siege.
They affirmed Yemen’s right to defend its capabilities, wealth and sovereignty by all available means and possibilities.
At the session, the Council of Representatives condemned the continued targeting of Yemeni villages by Saudi forces in Sa’ada province and deplored the silence of the international community, the complicity of the United Nations and its human rights bodies, their disregard for those crimes and attacks on Yemeni citizens in their villages and cities and the loss of life and property.
The Council deplored the imbalance in the handling of the events in Yemen, particularly with regard to self-defence, the response to aggression and the blockade, as well as the crimes committed by Saudi forces against the Yemeni people on an almost daily basis.
The Council heard from the Minister of State for House and Shura Affairs of the Caretaker Government, Dr. Ali Abu Haliqa, the Government’s letter and actions regarding the aggression coalition and its mercenary in Riyadh, namely the leasing of the Qashen port in Mahrah province, and briefed the House of Representatives to do its part to inform the House of Representatives of its role as a representative of the Yemeni people.
The House of Representatives issued a statement warning aggression mercenaries not to conclude or sign any agreements with any State, entity or company. It reiterates its rejection of any agreements concluded by the mercenaries of aggression, the latest of which is the sale of the telecommunications sector in Aden governorate to an Emirati investor and the leasing of the port of Qashen in Mahra, and any other agreements.
The Council considered those conventions to be an infringement of the sovereignty and capabilities of the Yemeni people, contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Yemen and in disregard of the Yemeni people’s capabilities and wealth in favour of a number of conspirators and traitors outside the national ranks, who, together with the Coalition of Aggression, contributed to the killing of Yemeni people and the destruction of their abilities and the looting of their wealth.
The Council of Representatives renewed its mandate to the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council to take appropriate measures to ensure that the rights and capabilities of the Yemeni people are preserved and not impaired.
He agreed to address the chairpersons and members of Arab, regional and international parliaments and parliamentary unions and to warn against such invalid agreements, which did not take into account the rights, interests and abilities of the Yemeni people in violation of the constitution of the Republic of Yemen and the laws in force.
The Council affirmed Yemen’s retention of its constitutional and legal right to prosecute beneficiaries and excessive beneficiaries for those conventions that do not represent the Yemeni people.
The Council of Representatives also affirmed the nullity of those conventions, that they were not binding and that the Yemeni people did not bear any consequences arising therefrom, and that any projects resulting from those agreements would be legitimate targets of Yemen’s armed forces.
In addition, the Council heard from the Minister of State of the Caretaker Government his letter on the Government’s implementation of the recommendations made by the House of Representatives in the previous parliamentary period.
The letter touched on the importance of defining the follow-up mechanism to the recommendations of the House of Representatives and submitting them first and foremost, depending on their periods of time, in order to create a complementary relationship that meets the public interest.
During the meeting, the Council reviewed the report of the Committee for Development, Oil and Mineral Wealth on its follow-up to the Safer at the port of Ras Issa in Hodeida province.
The report contained an overview of the vessel, its status and the Government’s clarification of the procedural steps taken thereon, as well as the report’s observations, conclusions and recommendations thereon.
The House of Representatives postponed its discussion of the report to a future session in the presence of the competent Government side.
The Council began its meeting by reading and approving its previous record and will continue its meetings on Wednesday at the will of God Almighty.
