The Government of the Republic of Yemen has once again affirmed that what is taking place on the western coast is not merely a battle over limited positions, but rather part of a national struggle to restore state institutions, extend their sovereignty over the entire national territory, end the coup, and safeguard Yemen\u2019s unity and the integrity of its territory and territorial waters.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Gov has further affirmed in a statement released here,\u00a0 that any temporary territorial gains achieved by the Houthi militias through force cannot grant them the right to impose a permanent political or geographical reality, and that the Yemeni state will continue to defend its sovereignty and institutions and take the necessary measures to protect its territory and people, in accordance with international humanitarian law and the rules of engagement.<\/p>\n

“The Government of Yemen affirms that the security of Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea begins with Yemen itself. Al-Mokha, Mayyun Island, and the Yemeni coastline overlooking this vital international waterway are not merely geographical locations; they lie along a major route for the movement of trade and energy between Asia and Europe, the statement adds.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, transforming these areas into platforms for threatening commercial vessels and international navigation constitutes a danger that extends beyond Yemen\u2019s borders and affects regional security and the global economy.<\/p>\n

The repeated Houthi attacks using missiles, drones, and explosive-laden boats have demonstrated the danger of the continued use of Yemeni territory and coastline to threaten international maritime navigation, resulting in loss of life, increased shipping and insurance costs, disruptions to supply chains, and the diversion of vessels to longer and more costly maritime routes.<\/p>\n

The Government is determined that the security of the Red Sea is inseparable from the security of international energy and trade, and that any continued threat to navigation in Bab al-Mandab will have direct repercussions on global trade, energy markets, and supply chains, including those of Asian countries that rely heavily on maritime routes through the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
