The Yemeni army has appealed to the international community to support efforts to bring the strategically important Bab el-Mandeb Strait out of Houthi control.
Globalinfo.az reports that the statement was made by Colonel Majid al-Nuzayli, spokesman for the army loyal to the internationally recognised Yemeni government, who said the strait plays a vital role in international shipping and trade.
He described the liberation of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the country’s western coast as an inherent right of the Yemeni Armed Forces.
Al-Nuzayli also praised the work of the southern forces in defending the temporary capital, Aden, and other southern governorates, as well as in breaking the siege of the city of Taiz.
According to the colonel, lifting the Houthi siege of Taiz is a national duty at the current critical stage.
