也门总统拉希德·阿利米(Rashid al-Alimi)周五呼吁民众动员起来,加入政府武装部队,并宣布将对那些得到伊朗支持的胡塞武装分子实施大赦。这些胡塞武装分子已经控制了也门的大部分红海沿岸地区,并对沙特阿拉伯实施了海上封锁。
Yemen’s Riyadh-based President Rashid al-Alimi on Friday called on his people to mobilise and join the armed forces while offering a general amnesty to the Iran-backed Houthi rebels who have seized swaths of Yemen's Red Sea coast and imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia.
作为也门政府的领导人,阿利米呼吁全国范围内进行动员,以应对胡塞武装的威胁。目前,胡塞武装正在加紧对政府军及其沙特盟友的攻击。
The head of Yemen's governing body on Friday called for a general mobilisation to counter the Iran-backed Houthis, as the group ramps up attacks on government forces and their Saudi backer.
他的这一呼吁是在也门政府遭受重创之后发出的:胡塞武装已经完全控制了也门的所有红海沿岸地区,仍在与也门政府军交战,并袭击沙特的船只和领土。
His call comes weeks after Yemen's fragmented government was dealt a major blow by the Houthis, who seized control of the country's entire Red Sea coast and are still fighting its forces in Yemen and attacking Saudi ships and territory.
“我呼吁我们伟大人民的子弟们积极参与全国性的动员行动,支持我们的武装部队和安全部队,”担任总统领导委员会主席兼也门武装部队最高指挥官的阿利米在讲话中表示。他还补充说,任何从胡塞武装阵营叛逃到政府一方的人都将获得大赦。
"I call upon the sons of our great people to engage in general mobilisation and national mobilisation, to rally around their armed and security forces," Rashid al-Alimi, who heads the Presidential Leadership Council and is also Supreme Commander of the Yemeni Armed Forces, said in a speech. Anyone defecting from the Houthis to the government side will be pardoned in an upcoming amnesty, he added.
阿利米领导的总统领导委员会得到了沙特的支持;其部队在沙特的空中支援下与胡塞武装作战。
Alimi heads Yemen's Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council, whose forces are fighting the Houthis with air support from the kingdom.
周末期间,胡塞武装首次对利雅得发动了攻击,这标志着局势的进一步升级。
Over the week-end, the Houthis attacked Riyadh for the first time in years, marking a major escalation.
周五早些时候,沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦的军事高层举行了会谈,讨论如何协助利雅得应对胡塞武装的威胁。也门及其沙特盟友一直在寻求国际社会的帮助。据阿利米办公室的消息人士向法新社透露,阿利米曾与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通话,请求美国提供支持以对抗这些得到伊朗支持的武装分子,但特朗普并未承诺提供军事援助。
Earlier on Friday, the military chiefs of staff of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan held talks on how to support Riyadh as Yemen's Houthis ramp up attacks on the world's top crude exporter. Yemen and its Saudi backer have been seeking international help to counter the Houthis, with a source from Alimi's office telling AFP earlier this week that he requested American support in a call with US President Donald Trump against the Iran-backed Houthis. But Trump did not promise military help.
《纽约时报》报道称,沙特王储周日再次呼吁特朗普提供帮助,以遏制该组织的军事行动。此前Axios也曾报道过,特朗普上周曾拒绝了类似的请求。
The New York Times said the crown prince called Trump on Sunday "to implore him, again" to help counter the group's advances, and Axios has previously said that Trump rebuffed a similar request last week.
这个得到伊朗支持的武装组织自7月以来加大了对沙特政府的攻击力度,彻底打破了双方长达数年的停火协议,并宣布对沙特实施海上封锁;他们袭击了沙特的目标设施,同时占领了也门的整个红海沿岸地区,企图扼制沙特的石油出口。
The Iran-backed group has escalated its attacks on the government's Saudi backer since July, ending a years-long truce and declaring a maritime blockade, hitting Saudi targets and seizing Yemen's entire Red Sea coast as they seek to stifle Saudi oil exports.
也门的内战始于2014年胡塞武装控制首都萨那之后,次年沙特领导的联军介入以支持也门政府。目前胡塞武装控制着也门北部大部分人口密集的地区,而也门政府则流亡到了亚丁(他们自封的临时首都)。
Yemen's civil war began after the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, with a Saudi-led coalition stepping in the following year to shore up the government. The Houthis now control much of the north, Yemen's most populated areas, while the government was exiled to Aden, its self-proclaimed temporary capital.
