According to al-Masira, Yemenis living in al-Muhra province staged anti-colonial protests. The demonstration was held in protest of the arrival of British troops in Al-Mehra province.
According to the report, protesters chanted slogans against Britain and other Western countries and demanded their withdrawal from al-Mehra province. Demonstrators also chanted slogans against the United States and Saudi Arabia.
The Yemeni Supreme Political Council recently issued a statement on the latest developments in the country. “We look forward to the positive messages from the United Nations and its new envoy to Yemen regarding the peace plan of the Ansar al-Islam leader,” the statement said.
A statement from the Yemeni Supreme Political Council also said that the new UN envoy should avoid any mistakes made by previous UN envoys and should not start from scratch.
The statement also stressed that the new UN envoy should not ignore the siege against the Yemeni people. The assistance that this envoy needs to carry out his mission should not be taken from the aggressor countries.
The Yemeni Supreme Political Council continued its statement by blaming Saudi Arabia for the deteriorating humanitarian situation in many Yemeni provinces, especially al-Hudaidah. About a month and a half ago, it was announced that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had appointed a Swedish diplomat as the new UN envoy for Yemen.
