Yemen’s Vice President, General Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar, is leading strenuous efforts among different political parties and forces to declare a broad national alliance in support of the legitimate government and the Arab Coalition to restore the State’s legitimacy and liberate the remaining territories from the grip of Houthi militias. Political sources told Asharq Al-Awsat that Al-Ahmar’s endeavor has so far drawn the general framework of the national alliance, which will be announced as soon as the ongoing consultations with party leaders and political forces are completed. The sources added that the vice president’s consultations over the past period included leaders of the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (Al-Islah), pro-legitimacy leaders of the General People’s Congress, officials from the Nasserist Unionist People’s Organization, as well as leaders of the Yemeni Socialist Party and key figures in the Southern Movement. According to the sources, the alliance, if Al-Ahmar’s efforts succeeded, would form a comprehensive umbrella under which the Yemeni parties would agree on all critical matters, including the implementation of the outcome of national dialogue and the liberation of the remaining territories held by the Houthis. In this context, the vice president received at his residence in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Monday a delegation from the Union of Popular Forces, represented by its Secretary General Abdul Salam Razzaz and Assistant Secretary Ali Saif Al Nuaimi, Yemen’s official news agency (SABA) reported. The agency added that the two leaders emphasized their “firm stance in support of the legitimate government and the sacrifices of the army and coalition to restore the State and its institutions.”
