Governor of Sana'a calls on Yemenis to reject Houthi recruitment and commit to restoring the state
The Governor of Sana'a, Abdul Qawi Sharif, has called on the Yemeni people to reject the recruitment operations imposed by the Houthi group, emphasizing the importance of popular and national solidarity during this sensitive phase that Yemen is going through.
In his statements, the Governor praised the great sacrifices made by the Yemeni Armed Forces, security services, and the popular resistance in order to restore state institutions and end the coup. He affirmed that these efforts reflect the determination of the Yemeni people to restore their sovereignty and protect their future.
Sharif stressed that the city of Sana'a represents the strategic and national depth of Yemen, and that liberating it from the control of the militias is a top priority for the country's stability. He pointed out that the continued forced recruitment practiced by the group aims to prolong the conflict and increase the suffering of the citizens.
These calls come at a time when the Yemeni arena is witnessing continuous movements to support legitimacy, as Yemeni officials continue to emphasize the need to unite ranks to face the security and political challenges imposed by armed groups on civilians.
In concluding his remarks, the Governor urged tribes and citizens in areas under Houthi control not to be drawn into recruitment calls, and instead work to support efforts to restore the state and achieve the comprehensive peace that all Yemenis aspire to.
