Al-Farah responds to Saudi fallacies: Denying the blockade will not change the facts and will not protect your oil and shipping.
Ansar Allah Political Bureau member Mohammed Al-Farah stressed that the Saudi regime’s attempts to deny the continued siege imposed on Yemen and to cover up its responsibility for the aggression will not change the facts, stressing that the Yemeni people’s rights to sovereignty, freedom of movement and lifting the siege are legitimate rights guaranteed by international laws and conventions, and no party can confiscate or diminish them.
This came in a series of posts published by Al-Farah on his official account on the “X” platform, in response to the fallacies contained in the statements of the spokesman for the American-Saudi aggression coalition, Turki Al-Maliki, and the statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding Yemen.
In response to al-Maliki’s claims that “there is no blockade on Sana’a airport,” al-Farah asked: If there is no blockade, then why did the Saudi regime bomb Sana’a airport, and why did it mobilize its forces and tools to prevent a single flight that brought back the sick, the stranded, and the Yemeni national delegation to the homeland?
He stressed that these facts alone are enough to refute the Saudi narrative, adding that “denial in this crude manner will not lead you to a result, and will not absolve your oil and maritime navigation,” indicating that attempts to evade responsibility will not change the reality of the blockade and its effects on the Yemeni people.
In response to the Saudi Foreign Ministry statement calling for the implementation of Security Council Resolution 2216, Al-Farah stressed that the demands of the Yemeni people do not exceed their natural and legitimate rights guaranteed by international laws, customs and conventions, foremost among them their right to freedom of movement, the opening of ports and airports, and the preservation of national sovereignty away from any external interference.
He stressed that no country or entity in the world has the right to prevent Yemenis from traveling, impose a blockade on their ports and airports, or interfere in their internal affairs, considering that the continuation of these measures represents a clear violation of Yemeni sovereignty and the basic rights of the Yemeni people.
Al-Farah pointed out that it was expected that Saudi Arabia, in light of the changes taking place in the region, would announce the end of its aggression, lift the blockade on Yemen, withdraw its forces, stop interfering in Yemeni affairs, and release the Yemeni prisoners it is holding, but it chose to continue with the policy of escalation.
He added that Riyadh continues to punish the Yemeni people for their supportive stances towards the Palestinian people and their just cause, noting that describing these stances as “ominous goals and agendas” reflects the true Saudi position on the nation’s fateful issues and reveals the nature of the policies it adopts towards Yemen.
A member of the political bureau of Ansar Allah considered that the Saudi speech clearly reveals that the siege imposed on Yemen is not based on any Saudi national interest, but rather comes within the framework of serving the American and Zionist project in the region, stressing that the Saudi regime is showing a willingness to sacrifice its oil facilities, economic interests and maritime navigation in order to return Yemen to the circle of American hegemony, and to protect the interests of the Zionist enemy, whatever the repercussions may be.
He stressed that the continuation of these policies will not achieve their goals, and will not push the Yemeni people to abandon their national and patriotic positions, but will increase their adherence to their rights and sovereignty, and their determination to continue confronting the aggression and the blockade until they obtain their rights in full.
Al-Farah concluded his remarks by emphasizing that attempts to distort the facts or deny the blockade will not give the Saudi regime a way out of the consequences of its policies, and will not change the fact that the Yemenis are continuing to defend their sovereignty and legitimate rights until the aggression is ended and the blockade is completely lifted.
