The Southern Transitional Council accused the government of interim President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi of not committing to the implementation of its obligations in accordance with the Riyadh Agreement and resorted to escalation and mobilization in order to thwart the implementation of the agreement.

This was stated by a member of the Presidency Council - Head of the Council’s team in the Joint Committee to follow up the procedures of implementing the Riyadh agreement, Dr. Nasser Al-Khubaji, during his meeting in Riyadh, the French Ambassador to Yemen, Christian Testo and his deputy, Christophe Katsian, according to a statement published by the Transitional website.

 During the meeting, Dr. Al-Khubaji reviewed the overall measures taken by the Southern Transitional Council in the context of its commitment to implement the Riyadh Agreement.

 During the meeting, Dr. Al-Khubaji reviewed the overall measures taken by the Southern Transitional Council in the context of its commitment to implement the Riyadh Agreement.

The southern leader considered "the escalation operations by the Yemeni government forces in the governorates of Abyan and Shabwa, including killings, abuses and the mobilization of terrorist elements, as a threat to the south, the region and the world."

 He pointed out that reducing the Riyadh agreement in the procedures for implementing the military and security annexes and rejecting the creative implementation of the procedures for implementing the provisions of the political and economic attachment is an insistence through which the Yemeni government intends to thwart the Riyadh agreement, which is not acceptable in any way.

Dr. Al-Khubaji stressed the efforts of the Southern Transitional Council to consolidate peace and consolidate its foundations in the south and Yemen, calling on the Yemeni government to firmly order and not allow the extremists who are concerned in attempts to thwart the implementation of the Riyadh agreement.

 He stressed the commitment of the transitional council to the contents of the Riyadh agreement, praising France's efforts and its keenness to bring peace to Yemen and the region.


For his part, the French ambassador to Yemen expressed his hope to overcome all the obstacles that hinder the implementation of the Riyadh Agreement, valuing the role of the Southern Transitional Council in promoting peace opportunities and supporting Saudi Arabia's efforts in this context.
