The Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman announced a new vision of five points to build a sustainable peace in Yemen and achieve comprehensive national reconciliation.
Speaking at a seminar organized by the Brookings Doha Center today, entitled "From War to Famine: How to Ending the grinding conflict in Yemen? Tawakkol Karman said that the vision includes stopping the war, lifting the siege and withdrawing Saudi Arabia from the country, resuming the political process in terms of stopping the coup and war, and forming a military committee under the auspices of an international organization working to withdraw weapons from all militias, so that the state has the exclusive right to use weapons.
Karman said the vision also includes building the army and security on a national basis to ensure the protection of the country, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, guaranteeing security and stability in the country, forming a national government of all components or a technocrat government under the auspices of an international organization that will organize the referendum on the constitution, local, provincial, parliamentary and presidential elections, in accordance with the new constitution, as well as the reconstruction, and obligating Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to compensate Yemen for the damage they caused during the war.
Karman stressed that if the Saudi and Emirati intervention in Yemen is stopped, we will make peace, not only that, but we will establish a free democratic state, a state of justice and rule of law, and we will be the strategic partner in maintaining the security and stability of the world.
Karman said that Yemenis are now ready for peace and a national reconciliation and they believe that they are capable of achieving a sustainable peace that leads to a state in which all Yemenis live equally.
