Coalition to Support Legitimacy: ongoing Saudi-Emirati efforts to reduce escalation in Yemen

The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition, known as the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen,” confirmed that any military moves that contradict de-escalation efforts will be addressed directly and immediately, with the goal of protecting civilians and ensuring the success of Saudi-Emirati initiatives to restore stability.

The official spokesperson for the coalition forces, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, stated that this stance comes in response to a request from the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, to take urgent measures to protect civilians in Hadramout Governorate.

Al-Maliki explained that the coalition continues its joint efforts with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to reduce escalation, ensure the withdrawal of the Transitional Council’s forces from military positions, and hand over the camps to the “National Shield” forces, enabling local authorities to fully carry out their responsibilities.

He stressed that the coalition leadership remains committed to supporting Yemen’s legitimate government, calling on all parties to shoulder their national responsibilities, exercise restraint, and engage with peaceful solutions in order to safeguard Yemen’s security and stability.
