The Yemeni writer Fatima Youssef Bissal warned today, Thursday, of the decline in stability indicators and the exposure of the fragility of the contemporary civilizational system, pointing out that the siege and restrictions imposed on Yemen since 2015 represent one of the most prominent non-military dimensions of the war.
Bissal stated, in a statement followed by the Video Agency, that "the siege imposed on Yemen has not been limited to airstrikes and ground operations, but has included from the early stages restrictions on both maritime and aerial spaces, before evolving into a complex system of inspections, permits, and redirection of ships, culminating in the closure of Sanaa Airport and Yemeni crossings."
She added that "the trend of some countries toward boosting their stockpiles of food and fuel reflects fears of potential disruptions to technology, communications, and economic systems, which may lead to the loss of basic living components."
Bissal noted that the storage and crisis preparedness measures reveal, in her opinion, a decline in confidence in the sustainability of stability, amidst challenges related to economic fragility, climate change, and cyberattacks.
She highlighted the shift in the U.S. position from providing military and logistical support to the coalition during the early years of the war in Yemen to exerting pressure to end it.
Bissal emphasized that the concept of real security should not be limited to military capabilities and fortifications, but must be linked to human dignity and ensuring the right to live in safety, stressing the importance of humanitarian solidarity in the face of global crises and challenges.
