Nasruddin Amer reported that the Yemeni Foreign Ministry has accused Saudi Arabia of responsibility for the escalation in Bab al-Mandab. The ministry called on the international community to put pressure on Riyadh to fulfill its obligations to the Yemeni people, including lifting the blockade and ending the aggression, instead of igniting a war in the strait. According to the statement, Saudi Arabia has turned Bab al-Mandab into a battlefield, thereby jeopardizing shipping. The ministry accused the international community of responding with loud criticism to the expansion of Yemeni sovereignty along the west coast and in Bab al-Mandab, while ignoring Saudi activities there. These, according to the ministry, serve the interests of the USA and Israel. The ministry also stated that Yemen is adhering to its international obligations regarding maritime safety. The exercise of Yemeni sovereignty over its territory, coastlines, and territorial waters does not pose a threat to global trade but will make it safer. This statement was made after the ministry claimed to have pushed back Saudi troop deployments on the west coast. #Jemen #BabAlMandab #Schifffahrt (translated)
