Abdulsalam stated on Saturday at Sanaa International Airport that the Omani delegation’s visit is a continuation of the ongoing efforts towards achieving a fair peace.

The head of the national delegation reiterated the steadfast national stance that upholds the just cause of the Yemeni people, as confirmed by the leader in several speeches and positions. The Revolution’s leader had clearly emphasized the commitment to the announced principles of fair peace and the impossibility of retreating or compromising on them.

In this context, Abdulsalam reminded that Sanaa’s fair demands include: “a stop to aggression, lifting the siege completely, disbursing salaries of all employees from oil and gas revenue entitlements, alongside the withdrawal of foreign forces from Yemen, paying compensation and rebuilding.”

He added, “We adhere to these fair demands,” pointing out that the Omani delegation will hold discussions with the national leadership in this round under the umbrella of these demands.

This confirmation sends a clear message that there is no room for any attempts to circumvent, fragment or turn these principles into bargaining chips. This is a path that the aggressive coalition and its supporters have tried to impose in the past without success.

Regarding the prospects of achieving positive progress through the new meetings, Abdulsalam expressed the national side’s hope in fulfilling the just demands of the Yemeni people, emphasizing that they are “mostly humanitarian demands,” in another indication of the impossibility of compromising or bargaining over them.

The head of the national delegation explained that Sanaa will work on the prisoner file “to remove obstacles, as has recently happened.” This is a reference to the announcement made by the head of the National Committee for Prisoner Affairs about the postponement of the last prisoner exchange deal due to the unpreparedness of the mercenary party in Marib. Observers considered this an indication of stubbornness and an attempt to obstruct peace efforts.

Abdulsalam affirmed that “there are promises that the prisoner exchange process will take place during the holy month.”

The prisoner file is considered one of the humanitarian priority issues that the national leadership insists on addressing to move towards effective peace.

The head of the national delegation addressed the recent Saudi leaks about peace efforts, emphasizing that “leaks do not matter, and what matters is what is achieved on the ground.” He added, “We will leave matters to the end.”

Recent media leaks in Saudi Arabia claimed that Riyadh is making efforts to end the Yemeni war and reach a peace agreement between the warring parties. However, this is seen as a blatant attempt to assume the role of a “mediator” and perpetuate the lie of the civil war, which enemies use to evade their actual peace obligations. The leaks also spoke of approval for opening ports and airports, paying salaries, and unifying the currency. This is a clear admission of the correctness of Sanaa’s position and the practical guidelines for peace set by the national leadership.

Abdulsalam's statement on the importance of practical steps on the ground reflects Sanaa’s understanding of the enemies’ tendency towards evasion and public deception. It emphasizes the need to control the scene according to tangible practical markers for peace, in order to prevent any attempts to circumvent just demands.

Abdul Malik Al-Ajri, a member of the national negotiating delegation, hinted earlier at renewed prospects for achieving fair peace if the enemies prove their seriousness. He wrote on Twitter that a “peace cloud” hangs over the region, and we hope that Allah will rain stability and growth to end the division among enemy brothers and redirect the conflict compass towards the real enemy of the nation. Let this cloud not be a bolt of summer lightning without rain. (ILKHA)
