Coalition denies Houthi claims of Saudi threats to Yemeni tribes

The Joint Forces Command of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen has denied what it described as false claims by the Houthi militia regarding alleged Saudi threats to target tribal and civilian gatherings in Yemen, stressing that these accusations are baseless and unfounded.

The coalition stated that such claims are part of ongoing attempts to mislead public opinion and distract from the Houthi militia’s own crises and actions, as well as efforts to drag Yemeni tribes into their conflicts.

The coalition emphasized that Yemeni tribes remain a fundamental and enduring part of Yemen’s social and historical fabric, serving as a bridge of brotherhood and communication between the Saudi and Yemeni peoples, who share deep religious, geographic, and historical ties. These bonds, it said, are too strong to be undermined by disinformation campaigns or attempts to sow division and hostility.

The coalition reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s steadfast position on supporting Yemen’s security and stability, and its commitment to preserving the fraternal and historical ties with the Yemeni people. This, it said, strengthens security and stability, protects the interests of both nations, and prevents the exploitation of Yemeni tribes or their involvement in conflicts that do not serve the aspirations of Yemenis for security, peace, and development.

The coalition concluded by stating that the truth will remain clearer than any disinformation campaigns, and that the bonds of brotherhood between the two peoples will endure in the face of all attempts at discord and division.
