MAKKAH: Sudanese pilgrims who came as part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Guests Program for Hajj and Umrah thanked King Salman for hosting them.
The program, which was implemented by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call and Guidance, invited 1,000 pilgrims from Sudan to perform Hajj.
Of them, 500 came from the Sudanese Army and those belonging to the families of fallen Sudanese troops who fought with the Arab coalition forces to support the legitimate government in Yemen.
The worshippers said that the hosting reflects King Salman’s appreciation for their sacrifices in defending their Yemeni brothers against Iranian-backed Houthi militias, that violated all international laws. They said that the kind gesture represents the historical relations and unrivaled support shown to Sudan by Saudi Arabia.

RIYADH: Yemen’s government appreciates the historical and steadfast positions of Saudi Arabia and its pivotal role in supporting Yemen’s security and stability, a statement issued by the country said on Tuesday.
Yemen also appreciates the Kingdom’s constant concern for protecting civilians, reducing escalation, and preventing the eastern provinces of the country from sliding into conflicts that serve hostile agendas.
The internationally recognized government in Yemen called on the Southern Transitional Council to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the governorates of Hadramaut and Al-Mahra, hand over military sites and camps to the Homeland Shield Forces and local authorities in the governorates, and refrain from any military or escalatory actions that threaten local security and undermine de-escalation efforts.
The statement affirmed the government’s full welcome and absolute support for the decisions taken by the President of the Presidential Leadership Council and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Rashad Al-Alimi, including the declaration of a state of emergency and measures to protect local security, preserve the unity and sovereignty of the state, and maintain its legal status, in light of the dangerous developments taking place in the eastern governorates of Yemen.
The government said that a state of emergency was declared “to confront the armed rebellion, protect civil peace, and prevent sliding into chaos and undermining state institutions.”
