Dr. Raed Qarmali, Undersecretary of the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Public Diplomacy, categorically denied the allegations published by the Wall Street Journal regarding demands made by the Houthi militia to his country.

Karmali confirmed, through his account on the “X” social media platform, that the entire publication is baseless and is a figment of the imagination of the article’s authors or their alleged sources.

The Saudi official explained that the Houthi militias turned against the Yemeni government, caused starvation for the Yemeni people, and plunged Yemen into conflicts and agendas that do not serve it and its people.

Qarmali added that the Houthis attacked commercial ships in the waterways of the Red Sea, as well as civilian and economic objects, and rejected all peace efforts.

The Undersecretary of the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Public Diplomacy reminded the authors of the published article that Yemen has a recognized government.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, received a written message from Sierra Leonean President Julius Maada Bio regarding bilateral relations between the two countries.

The message was received by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Engineer Walid Al-Khuraiji, during his reception at the Ministry’s headquarters in Riyadh on Thursday, the Ambassador of the Republic of Sierra Leone to the Kingdom, Mohammed Bari. During the reception, bilateral relations were reviewed and topics of common interest were discussed.
