تاريخ النشر: 19th, September 2023 GMT
Chairman of the Presidential Command Council, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, confirmed the existence of facts confirming the explicit service between the Houthi coup militias and terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which is now managed by a regional chamber based in Iran.
This came during his meeting today with UN Under-Secretary-General Vladimir Voronkov, to discuss developments in the Yemeni situation and the repercussions of the Houthi militia war at all levels.
The Chairman of the Presidential Command Council described the UN official in the context of the increasing terrorist threats fueled by the Houthi militias by serving with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Al-Alimi pointed to the international support required to rebuild state institutions, law enforcement agencies, and anti-terrorism and organized crime authorities, and enhance their capabilities in deterring security threats in coordination with regional allies and international partners.

Three important meetings in Riyadh within a week
reports that Riyadh hosted three pivotal political gatherings this week:
Saudi Consultations: The first session brought together the Saudi ambassador, the Consultation and Reconciliation Commission, and key Yemeni party leaders.
Presidential Council Briefing: In the second, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, met with the same delegation.
National Alliance Talks: The final meeting paired Al-Alimi with representatives from the National Alliance bloc.
Key insights from Shalfi's Yemeni sources:
1 Growing popular demand urges a decisive end to Houthi rule—spurred by recent events in Lebanon and Syria—yet neither Yemeni leaders nor their external backers have committed to a clear course of action.
2 Riyadh signaled it won’t back or join a ground offensive under current regional and global conditions, while also warning Yemeni factions to overcome their internal splits and restore unified military and political coordination.
3 Al-Alimi attended alone, underscoring deep fractures within the Presidential Council that hinder regular meetings and collective decision-making.
4 Rumors of impending action on Yemen’s western coast and around Hudaydah were addressed, with Al-Alimi insisting any deployment must be a joint effort, not a single-front initiative.
5 Several attendees noted Donald Trump's planned May 13 regional trip—which could tip the balance toward either escalation or de-escalation in Yemen.
6 Discussions revealed significant cracks in Yemen’s military and political coalitions, a major barrier to launching any broad, unified assault on the Houthis.
7 Despite official denials, reports of a UAE-backed ground push via
prompted Saudi worries about Abu Dhabi carving out its own territorial influence along the western coast.
8 Saudi Arabia remains unwilling to entertain offensive plans until its territory is fully shielded from Houthi missiles and drones—a stance rooted in past experiences and stringent security calculations.
9 Proposed government changes, including replacing the prime minister, were also on the agenda—but no action was taken amid the prevailing political, military, and regional uncertainties.
