Yemen’s Vice-President and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah has called on the international community to intervene to end the crisis in the country at a conference.
Bahah, who was recently appointed by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, told reporters at a press conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Thursday that resolving the country’s humanitarian crisis remained his Government’s top priority.
“The international community has to intervene urgently so citizens can live in an appropriate way and in order to end a catastrophe,” Bahah said. He also called on renegade army units to drop their support for the Houthis. “I call on all troops and security force personnel to accept the command of the legitimate government and protect the country,” he said.
