Bin Habtoor, al-Rahawi address anti-drug seminar in Sana'a
Member of the Supreme Political Council Dr. Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtoor and Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahawi on Saturday participated in a seminar organized by the Ministry of Interior on the occasion of World Anti-Drug Day.
The seminar, titled "Drugs are enemies' means of destroying the individual and society," highlighted the grave threat drugs pose to Yemeni society.
Dr. Bin Habtoor commended the Ministry of Interior's efforts in combating drugs, describing them as a "scourge that threatens societies" and a tool used by enemies to destabilize nations from within.
SPC member bin Habtoor asserted that despite a decade of aggression and blockade, the Yemeni people's steadfastness remains unbroken, noting that drugs are another weapon in the enemy's arsenal.
He also extended congratulations to Iran for its "victory over the Zionist enemy," stating that "all the free people of the nation and the world should celebrate this victory." He concluded by criticizing "moderates" and "meager groups" who abandon their responsibilities.
Prime Minister al-Rahawi praised the Ministry of Interior's anti-drug sector, emphasizing that "enemies deliberately used drugs in their targeted war for more than ten years in order to destroy the Yemeni people."
He specifically cited information confirming that "the Saudi occupier, the Emirati, introduced large quantities of drugs to the occupied provinces and areas, including 'shabu' to corrupt young people."
Al-Rahawi expressed hope that the seminar's recommendations would enhance anti-drug efforts, including necessary legal amendments, and stressed that combating drugs is a collective responsibility, urging the community to report suspicious activities.
Major General Abdulmajid al-Murtada, Deputy Minister of Interior, reiterated that drugs are a serious problem targeting youth and an enemy tool for societal dismantling, calling for unified awareness efforts.
Dr. Ali Abbas, Chairman of the Supreme Commission for Medicines and Medical Supplies, outlined the commission's regulatory efforts to control medicines and substances used in narcotics manufacturing, stressing coordination among authorities.
Dr. Mounir al-Jubi, Professor of Criminal Law at the Police Academy, presented a paper on the religious, ethical, social, economic, and legal aspects of drug crime, advocating for updating the anti-drug law and continuous rehabilitation of security personnel.

Meeting of Foreign Ministry Leadership reaffirms full support for Military Front in confronting aggression
Sana'a – Saba: A meeting was held in Sana'a today, chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Jamal Amer, and attended by the leadership of the political and consular sectors. The meeting discussed diplomatic and administrative issues, focusing on elevating the level of political engagement to confront aggression through a strong diplomatic front. Diplomacy, it was noted, should serve as a solid support and complement to the armed forces led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, which have proven to be a deterrent force and an unignorable strategic actor. This strength has granted Yemen's political role increased effectiveness in negotiations and consultations with various international powers to confront military escalation. Minister Amer stressed that the diplomatic front must exhibit the same strength and clarity as the Yemeni armed forces. He stated: 'The next stage does not allow for half-solutions or neutrality. One must choose either the national liberation path that rejects hegemony and foreign dependency, or align with those who have betrayed their homeland and become mere tools and mercenaries for regional and international powers of dominance.' He emphasized the need to keep pace with the current transformative stage, which leaves no room for ambiguity or indecision. Amer reiterated: 'Sana'a clearly declares that peace is its strategic choice and war is the exception,' affirming Yemen's readiness to confront any imposed aggression. The minister praised the growing military capability and the popular unity around the leadership, stressing the continued role of the diplomatic front in defending Yemen's grievances and those of the Palestinian people in Gaza on the international stage. Regarding the Red Sea situation, Amer affirmed Sana'a's clear and unwavering stance. He underscored Yemen's commitment to the safety and security of international maritime navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Suez Canal. He clarified that the decision to prevent the passage of Israeli ships is a temporary measure, directly linked to ending the aggression on Gaza and allowing unrestricted humanitarian aid. He described this stance as humanitarian, religious, and moral, especially in light of international and regional silence on the Zionist crimes in Gaza. The minister also called for continued efforts to develop and improve diplomatic performance in line with local, regional, and global developments. He announced the completion of procedures to adopt the financial bylaw for the diplomatic corps, in accordance with Law No. (5) amending certain provisions of the Diplomatic Corps Law, which is supported by the President of the Supreme Political Council. Participants in the meeting affirmed their commitment to keeping pace with ongoing developments and standing by the leadership until victory and stability are achieved. Several issues related to strengthening diplomatic efforts and countering external conspiracies were discussed during the meeting. The meeting was attended by the Deputy Minister for Financial and Administrative Affairs, Ambassador Mohammed Hajer, as well as heads of departments and general directors from the political and consular sectors of the ministry.
