The Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, welcomed the statement issued today by the Alliance to Support Legitimacy in Yemen that the Riyadh agreement should be respected and the situation returned to its previous status following the declaration of a state of emergency by the Transitional Council through its recent statement and the resulting developments of events in the capital Aden (Aden) and some southern governorates of the Republic of Yemen.
In a statement issued by the Arab League today, he called on the Yemeni parties to abide by the Riyadh agreement signed last November, which sets a road map for settling the situation in the south, paving the way for a comprehensive settlement to the crisis.
