The leader of Yemen’s internationally recognised governing council on Thursday urged Arab and other nations to help protect the country’s coasts, after the Iran-backed Houthis seized control of the key Red Sea city of Mocha.
“The protection of Yemen’s coasts and the restoration of state control over its territory, ports and waters is a joint Yemeni, Egyptian, Arab and international interest,” said Rashad al-Alimi, who heads Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, during a meeting with Egypt’s ambassador.
