Yemen’s Riyadh-based, internationally recognised president, Rashid al-Alimi, calls on Yemenis to mobilise and join the armed forces. He also offers a general amnesty for Houthi fighters and affiliates who leave the group, starting 26 September.
The outlets describe the call as part of an escalation involving Houthi forces, which the reports characterise as Iran-backed and controlling parts of Yemen’s Red Sea coast. France 24 adds that the Houthis have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, providing further context for al-Alimi’s appeal.
While all sources cover the mobilisation and amnesty provisions, they differ mainly in the background emphasis: some focus on the government’s confrontation with the Houthis, while others foreground the regional dimension of the Red Sea situation and Saudi-linked impacts.
