The official spokesman for the coalition forces, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, refuted the allegations of the terrorist Houthi militia regarding the Kingdom’s threat to target tribal and civilian gatherings, describing what the militia is promoting as “false and baseless allegations, and we deny them completely.”

Major General Al-Maliki said: “These allegations, in their content and timing, reflect ongoing attempts to mislead public opinion, divert attention from the militia’s crises and practices, and involve members of authentic Yemeni tribes in their conflicts.”

The coalition spokesman added: “The Yemeni tribe will remain an authentic component and a firm pillar in the social and historical fabric of Yemen, and a bridge of brotherhood and communication between the Saudi and Yemeni peoples, who are united by the ties of religion, neighbourhood, history and common destiny, and these ties are too deep to be affected by misinformation campaigns or attempts to spread division and hostility.”

He stressed his country's firm position towards Yemen's security and stability, and its keenness to preserve fraternal and historical ties with the Yemeni people, in a way that enhances security and stability, preserves the interests of the two peoples, and prevents the Yemeni tribes from being exploited or drawn into conflicts that do not serve the aspirations of the Yemenis for security, peace and development.

He concluded his statement by saying: “The truth will remain clearer than the misinformation campaigns, and the bonds of brotherhood between the two brotherly peoples will remain firm in the face of all attempts at sedition and division.”
