President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, said on Saturday that “Yemeni unity should not be the subject of disagreement or conflict and it must remain greater than all people, parties, differences, and conflicts.”
This came during his visit to struggler Major General Khaled Baras, advisor to the Supreme Political Council and head of the Southern Movement component participating in the National Dialogue Conference, to be reassured of his health. President Al-Mashat lauded the patriotic positions of Baras in the 14th of October Revolution and his role in opposing the occupation and aggression against Yemen.
President Al-Mashat indicated that the 33rd anniversary of the blessed Yemeni unity comes at a time when the country is exposed to plots and suspicious projects that seek to undermine it by further dismantling and tearing.
He affirmed that “the 22nd of May reminds everyone of the safe passage and the only lifeline, which is the return to unity, intimacy, and brotherhood.”
President Al-Mashat pointed out that unity is a stable destiny in the depths of peoples and a voice that does not leave the conscience of the nation, regardless of the size of the difference between the sons of one people and one nation.
For his part, Major General Barras indicated that the blessed Yemeni unity is a great event in the history of Yemen, considering President Al-Mashat’s visit to him as evidence of his appreciation for this historic event.
He said, “We are with the patriotic stances. We withstood the steadfastness of men, fought, and sacrificed, and we stopped the storms of the US-Saudi aggression against Yemen.”
Paras noted that when Yemeni unity was announced, people in all provinces came out to welcome it as a great historical event.
He stressed that if unity had not been achieved on May 22, 1990, the Yemeni people would have taken out and worked to achieve it in another way.
