Yemeni government calls reopening of all ports and airports a fundamental right

The National Salvation Government in Sana’a has said that the opening of ports, airports and employees’ salaries are fundamental rights for the Yemeni people and not a concession or a favour from anyone, calling on the Saudi-led coalition to lift its blockade.

Commenting on statements by Saudi-led coalition loyalists, Abdul Malik al-Ajri, a member of the national negotiating delegation, said: “They consider ports, airports, salaries and services as a concession! First, this is not a concession from you, it is a fundamental right of the people. Secondly, the aggression is the one that besieges the ports, closes airports, controls gas, oil, electricity, most land ports and 80% of resources, and it is the one who has to lift its blockade, restore all services and cover the salaries.”
