Press Release
Successive Security Council Resolutions on Yemen are Colonial Resolutions
Punish its People and Prolong the Conflicts and Wars in it
(Translated)

The Security Council unanimously approved on Monday a draft resolution submitted by Russia on renewing targeted sanctions on Yemen. Russia vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution submitted by Britain expressing concern about Iran's violation of the arms embargo on Yemen and calling for action against Tehran on arming the Houthis, while Russia submitted a draft resolution aimed at preventing it, and the Council finally voted in favor of the Russian text which is consistent with what America wants for its agents in the region.

The new resolution is the fifth in a row in recent years starting with Resolution 2014 (2011), then Resolution 2051 (2012), followed by Resolution 2140 (2014), which was prepared by Britain and under which a sanctions committee was established under Chapter VII for the first time - for Breach of security and international peace - while the two previous resolutions were under Chapter VI and general principles. And then Resolution 2216 (2015) followed by this resolution, 2402 (2018), in which the United Nations sanctions are extended for one year.

The successive Security Council resolutions on Yemen have brought nothing to Yemen except devastation, fighting, wars, strife and disasters; all of which are a punishment for the Muslim people of Yemen, whose country has been sanctioned by UN under Chapter VII. So, the Security Council has become their guardian while the major influential powers, America and Britain, are conflicting over dominance and wealth with their local and regional tools. Whereas Russia is only serving America, which gives it a role in the Security Council to achieve its interests and obstruct the British plans in Yemen, where Britain is working to strangle the Houthis and work to besiege them and punish their supporters, such as the criminal Iran, both in the Security Council and military actions on the ground through its tools Hadi and the Emirates who are fighting the Houthis.

The extension of the sanctions and placing Yemen under Chapter VII is only an extension of wars and conflicts, where the people of Yemen are the ones who are practically punished by these decisions, and not those who are the merchants of war in it who shake the red rag for the foreign colonial interference in Yemen.

It is absolutely forbidden for Muslims in general, and particularly the people of Yemen, to give the disbelievers an authority over them and over their country, no matter how much they differed or disputed.

So, it is the duty of the people of Yemen and all Muslims to arbitrate the law of Allah among themselves and to work to get the Kuffar out of their country and cut off their authority over them sooner rather than later. It is not permissible for them to enable the Kuffar of their necks, their country and their wealth, nor to empower their ideas and colonial projects in all their forms.

O People of Yemen, the Kaffir colonialist West has become the guardian of your country and colonized it by its conflicting tools from the day you inclined to the oppressors and you stopped changing on them and you were satisfied with the provisions, laws and criminal charters of Kufr to be applied on you. Will you not then work for the sovereignty of Islam by establishing the Khilafah Rashida state (righteous Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood in which your country and your blood are protected and you become the masters of the world, enjoying the blessings of wealth and strategic position which Allah (swt) bestowed upon you, in addition to what our Nobel Prophet (saw) praised you with of Iman and wisdom, and it is time for them to be materialized practically in real life?

(يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ * وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنكُمْ خَاصَّةً وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ)

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. * And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who oppress (but it will afflict everyone) and know that Allah is Severe in punishment.” [Al-Anfaal: 24-25].
