LONDON: The head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council on Thursday urged the international community to form a decisive alliance to restore security, stability and state institutions in his country, which risks becoming a permanent hub for transnational terrorism. Speaking at the UN General Assembly’s 80th session, Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi described what was happening Yemen not just as an internal crisis but “a test of the credibility of the international system,” citing the Houthis’ decade-long control and their use of starvation and maritime routes as tools of coercion.
