Ambassador Faqira participates in discussion on enhancing maritime security
[23/04/2025 06:41]

AMMAN - SABA
Yemen's Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Dr. Jalal Faqira participated Wednesday in a discussion organized by the Arab Institute for Security Studies here, focusing on enhancing maritime security in the Red Sea and the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab.

During the session, which included researchers and experts from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Britain, the USA and Norway, the ambassador highlighted Yemen's strategic location and its implications for maritime security, presenting Yemen's vision for Red Sea security and the policies needed to enhance the security framework in the region.

Ambassador Faqira emphasized that Yemen is a cornerstone for achieving security and stability in the Red Sea. He noted that Yemen’s concept of security focuses on the integrity of its borders, coasts, and islands, as well as the safety of all countries bordering the Red Sea.

He reaffirmed the Arab identity of the Red Sea and the interconnectedness of Yemen’s security with that of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf states, highlighting the importance of coordination with neighboring countries, ensuring international navigation, and the close organic link between national, Arab, regional, and international security levels.

He highlighted the importance of building bilateral understandings and engaging in collective arrangements aimed at achieving security and stability, as well as coordinating with countries bordering the Red Sea and those with interests in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

Ambassador Faqira pointed out the negative impacts on international navigation since the onset of Houthi piracy in the Red Sea in November 2023, including attacks on ships, sinking, towing to shore, kidnapping sailors and the threat of environmental disasters, as well as the use of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and unmanned boats.

These actions have disrupted international navigation in the Red Sea, raised maritime insurance costs, threatened supply chains, and undermined the foundations of security and stability in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea, with the potential to extend the conflict to the Mediterranean Sea, said Yemen's Ambassador to Jordan Jalal Faqira.

He warned of the dangers of the continued control of rogue militias, such as the Houthi terrorist militia, over state institutions in Yemen, particularly in the capital, Sana'a, and several Yemeni governorates.

"Classifying the Houthi militias as a terrorist organization gives us the opportunity to cut off their funding sources to eliminate the Houthi threat to international navigation security in the Red Sea and to prevent arms supplies from Iran," he said

Ambassador Faqira affirmed that restoring security and stability in the Red Sea requires numerous measures, primarily undermining the power of the Houthi terrorist militias and providing the Yemeni government with both financial and military support sufficient to enable it to regain control over all Yemeni governorates, restore all state institutions, and enforce peace and security throughout Yemen.
