“ Ci invoke the sons and daughters of our great people to a general mobilization and a national union,” Rashad al-Alimi said in a speech broadcast on television, in which he urged the Yemeni to “join the ranks” of the army and contribute to the defense of state institutions in a context of escalation of the conflict with the Huthis.

The internationally recognized Yemeni head of state also offered amnesty to the Iranian-backed rebels to abandon this Shia movement and join the army ranks.
