The Riyadh Agreement .. The international community welcomes and the Yemeni Youth Revolution Council condemns the presence of the UAE

The Yemeni Youth Council for the Peaceful Revolution (YRC) said that the UAE could not be a neutral party to the Riyadh agreement signed between the Yemeni government and the Southern Transitional Council, while the international community welcomed the agreement.

The peaceful revolution youth council said in a statement that the UAE could not be a neutral party to the agreement, because it was the party that financed and established an anti-state armed faction, warning that not holding it responsible for the coup, killing Yemeni soldiers, human rights violations, closing airports and ports and preventing the government from Exporting oil and gas is a reward.

The statement warned that this would usher in a new round of fragile compromises and the establishment of a period of endless conflicts.

The statement pointed out that any settlements outside the constitutional framework and the three authorities to resolve the Yemeni crisis are not legitimate.

International welcome
On the other hand, US Senator Chris Murphy described in a statement the Riyadh agreement as a positive step, and said it guarantees the transitional council a place in determining the future of Yemen, and avoid the country partition.

"We hope that this agreement will bring a broader political settlement to end the war and humanitarian crisis in Yemen," Murphy said.

In a statement, the EU welcomed the agreement, saying it was an important step towards reducing escalation and peace in Yemen and the region, calling on the signatories to take this opportunity to resume work towards a negotiated and sustainable peace under the auspices of the United Nations.

"We will continue to support the Office of the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Yemen Martin Griffiths in this area," the statement said.

In Paris, the French Foreign Ministry said France welcomes the signing of the agreement, which "represents an important step to preserve the unity and territorial integrity of Yemen, a necessary condition for the resumption of negotiations aimed at ending the crisis, involving all components of Yemeni society."

The UN Security Council also welcomed the signing of the Riyadh agreement and reiterated in its statement its full support for the UN envoy's efforts to resume comprehensive negotiations without delay on the security and political arrangements necessary to end the conflict.

On Tuesday, Riyadh witnessed the signing ceremony of the "Riyadh Agreement" between the Yemeni government and the transitional council in the presence of Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed.
