Jeddah, Safar 29, 1438, Nov 29, 2016, SPA -- Jeddah-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the formation by Yemen's so-called Supreme Political Council of a national salvation government, a step categorically rejected by the OIC as it constitutes a flagrant violation of the UN relevant resolutions and regional and international efforts to find a peaceful solution for the Yemeni crisis, end the sufferings of the Yemeni people and bring about security and stability to the country. In a statement, OIC Secretary General Dr. Yousef bin Ahmed Al-Othaimeen said his organization is committed to support the legitimate government in Yemen, led by President Abdrabbou Mansour Hadi, urging all Yemeni parties to positively respond to the UN special envoy Ismail Ould Al-Cheikh Ahmed efforts to reach a reconciliatory solution for the Yemeni crisis, that focuses on the Gulf Initiative, outcomes of the National Dialogue and UN Security Council Resolution 2216. He warned from the continuation of the Houthis and forces loyal to deposed president Ali Abdullah Saleh of uncalculated violations derailing endeavors for a peaceful solution in Yemen through enforcing a status quo in a way that undermines the internationally-recognized legitimacy. He reiterated OIC's firm position in support for Yemen's unity, stability and integrity of its territories. --SPA 20:04 LOCAL TIME 17:04 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w279663
