Bahrain condemns continued Houthi attacks

TDT | Manama

Bahrain strongly condemns the continued attacks by Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia against civilians in Saudi Arabia with missiles and drones, flagrantly violating Saudi’s sovereignty and stability, the principles of the UN Charter and international law, and seriously threatening regional security and stability.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry affirmed the solidarity of Bahrain with the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi against all those who attempt to undermine its security and territorial integrity. While the ministry denounces the practices and aggressive actions of the Houthi militia, it also condemns its continuing attack on the Yemeni city of Ma’rib, inhabited by millions of innocent displaced people who were forced to seek refuge from the oppression and violations of the Houthis, which further exacerbates the humanitarian situation in Yemen.

The ministry condemns the terrorist Houthi militias’ continued obstruction of the efforts of the UN secretary-general’s envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths and rejecting his initiatives, especially his proposal to reach a permanent ceasefire agreement in preparation for the restoration of the political process to reach a peaceful solution to the Yemeni crisis.

The ministry also stressed the need for the international community to take action that compels the terrorist Houthi militia to respond to these international efforts aimed at ending the suffering of the brotherly Yemeni people and preserving the unity and territorial integrity of Yemen.
