JMP Issues Arabic Statement on Sa’ada War
You would think that Yemen’s main opposition political party alliance would be capable of issuing a statement in English. It really limits their impact on the broader discussion when all their thinking and policies are only presented in Arabic. Even the Houthis are issuing English statements now, the Southerners are getting better at it (at least theres some websites now). The JMP doesn’t even have a website.
Each party has a paper and often a website. In the case of Islah’s al Sahwa, the webiste is accessable in Yemen, but the Socialists’ al Esheraki is often blocked from being viewed in Yemen. Still the alliance itself should a) have a website and b) issue statements in English, even as a summary of the main points of the longer Arabic statements.
Sahwa Net -Yemen’s main opposition parties, the Joint Meeting Parties, have again called for stopping Saada war between government forces and al-Houthi rebellion.
JMP affirmed that violence only escalates strains, sheds further blood and complicate problems.
JMP also demanded to allow local and international relief organizations to access the damaged areas and help the displaced, expressing its willingness to take part in any national efforts to solve the Saada crisis.
