The International Maritime Organization: We were in contact with Sana’a regarding the Red Sea crisis

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The International Maritime Organization revealed the extent of Yemen’s impact on the decision of maritime shipping from the Red Sea and the expansion of Sana’a’s influence and its impact after its decision to ban Israeli shipping from the Red Sea during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle since after October 7, 2023.

The Secretary-General of the organization, Arsenio Dominguez, said in a statement last Thursday at a press conference during the “Green Shipping Conference 2025” that the organization is in contact with all countries regarding any crisis around the world, including what he described as the “Red Sea crisis,” which he said is essentially a “geopolitical” issue that can’t be controlled, according to his description.

Dominguez said, “Political geography, we can’t control it, and the Red Sea is a political geography that we are affected by; what we are doing is dealing with all the necessary actors in order to ensure the safety and security of people on board ships and ships first,” indicating that the organization has remained in direct contact with Sana’a to secure the passage of the rest of the ships that Sana’a allowed to pass through the Red Sea during the period of its ban on Israeli, American, and British navigation during the period of the aggression launched by the Israeli occupation on Gaza in occupied Palestine.

The statement of the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization reflects the extent of the expansion of the influence and impact of the Yemeni decision from Sana’a on the rest of the region, despite the fact that the US and Britain imposed a military presence in the Red Sea and its surroundings in order to eliminate this influence, but Sana’a remained the destination of international parties for coordination with it to ensure the safe passage of their ships during the period of the ban that Sana’a was able to impose by force and Washington failed militarily to stop this ban until Sana’a decided to lift the blockade after Israel carried out its conditions by stopping the aggression on the Gaza Strip last January.
