The Ministry of Local Administration organized on Saturday a vigil to denounce the so-called “Jeddah Declaration” issued by the 32nd Arab Summit.
The statement of the vigil, in which the leaders and cadres of the Ministry participated, condemned the Summit’s lack of interest in ending the aggression against Yemen and lifting the embargo imposed on its people nine years ago without legal or moral justification.
The statement read by the Undersecretary of the Local Plans and Budgets Sector, Mohammed al-Sanhani, condemned the leadership and staff of the Ministry of Local Administration and local authorities in the provinces and districts for the outcomes of the Arab League Summit, which over the past eight years has blessed the aggression and blockade of Yemen and granted its mercenaries right to represent Yemen and take its seat, a position reaffirmed by the Jeddah Summit.
He reiterated the rejection of Jeddah’s declaration, which considered what was taking place in Yemen to be a crisis while being subjected to full-fledged aggression and an unjust blockade that had resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history.
He condemned the Arab statement’s adherence to resolution 2216 as a reference for peace in Yemen, although the peace envoys to Yemen affirmed that the resolution would prolong the war and permanently close the road to any political solution.
The statement pointed out that the reform of the League of Arab States and the development of joint Arab action is still a distant dream due to the external intrusions the League has been subjected to that diverted it from the goals for which it was established.
