Al-Maliki: Coalition will continue operations to support restoring legitimate Yemeni government, ending Houthi coup

Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, reaffirmed the alliance's commitment to supporting the Yemeni government in its ongoing efforts to end the Houthi movement's control. In a statement issued from Riyadh, Al-Maliki emphasized that the Joint Forces Command remains dedicated to providing full operational support to the Yemeni Armed Forces to restore state institutions and national stability.

The spokesperson cited a series of ongoing challenges facing the Yemeni population, which he attributed to Houthi militia actions. According to Al-Maliki, these include the internal blockade of cities, the forced displacement of civilians, and the systematic looting of national resources to fund the group's military operations. He further condemned the reported abuse of tribal leaders and the recruitment of child soldiers as significant threats to the social fabric of Yemeni society.

This announcement underscores the Coalition's continued involvement in the conflict, framing its presence as a necessary measure to protect the Yemeni people and restore the legitimate government. The Coalition has maintained this position throughout the multi-year conflict, consistently calling for the end of the Houthi coup as a prerequisite for long-term peace and the restoration of national institutions in Yemen.
