Yemen’s Foreign Ministry has warned Saudi officials that continued pursuit of colonial policies will result in the collapse of the ruling regime in Riyadh and bring an end to its long history of criminal aggression.
In a statement on Thursday, the ministry emphasized that Saudi Arabia, through its ongoing colonial activities and interference, is heading toward a point of no return, a trajectory that could mark the final chapter of the regime’s criminal record against the Yemeni people and the region.
The Yemeni body reiterated that the drive for colonialism and domination will ultimately lead only to the destruction of the Saudi regime itself. It called on Saudi officials to abandon their aggressive and expansionist approach or face the inevitable consequences of their actions.
The warning comes amid escalating tensions, as Yemeni armed forces continue to respond firmly to the Saudi-imposed blockade and aggression that has persisted for over a decade. Yemeni officials have repeatedly stressed that Riyadh’s attempts to maintain a siege on Yemeni ports and airports, plunder national resources, and occupy parts of Yemeni territory represent a blatant colonial project that the Yemeni people will never accept.
Recent statements from Sana’a have underscored that any further Saudi escalation or “escape forward” will be met with comprehensive responses whose consequences the regime will be unable to bear. Yemeni forces have already demonstrated their capability to enforce the principle of “blockade for blockade” and target vital Saudi interests when necessary, in legitimate defense of sovereignty and the right to lift the unjust siege.
Yemen remains committed to restoring its full rights, ending the aggression, and achieving a just peace while making clear that persistence in colonial policies offers the Saudi regime no path other than decline and eventual downfall.
The Yemeni Foreign Ministry comes amid heightened tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The escalation follows Saudi airstrikes on Sana’a International Airport last month to halt humanitarian flights carrying patients and stranded civilians.
In response, Yemeni forces struck Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport with ballistic missiles and drones. They also announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia to end the 12-year Saudi-led siege.
President of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat has said the only path to ending the ongoing hostilities and establishing peace is an unconditional halt to Saudi Arabia’s blockade and aggression against the Arab country.
“Should the aggression persist and the siege is not lifted, any dialogue and agreement will be nothing but an illusion and a mirage,” Mashat warned recently.
Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies imposed the blockade on Yemen as part of a full-scale military campaign launched on March 26, 2015, with military, political, and logistical backing from the United States and other Western countries.
