 Jeddah (IINA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the announcement of Saudi Arabia ending the “Operation Decisive Storm” and starting “Operation Restoration Hope.”
The Saudi Ministry of Defense confirmed in a statement issued on Tuesday that the military actions in Yemen have been successfully completed, and that the campaign has been in response to the request of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, to protect Yemen and its legitimate institutions, social fabric and religious tolerance against the escalation by the Houthi militia and their supporters from former power centers and misguided foreign sources.
The OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani said that the statement paves the way for a political process in accordance with the Gulf initiative, its implementation mechanism, the outcome of the comprehensive Yemeni national dialogue and the Security Council resolution 2216 under Chapter VII.
Madani also added that Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman had always affirmed that Riyadh welcomes all Yemeni political factions committed to the legitimate political process and who renounce subversionary actions to meet in Riyadh under the umbrella of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Secretary General also expressed the hope that all OIC member states would play a positive role to push for security, peace and stability and territorial integrity in Yemen; and the protection of its legitimate institutions.
The Secretary General also called on donor countries and OIC member states to contribute to the success of the reconstruction and development programmes in Yemen and to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to the affected parts of the country.
