Майк Пенс: "Мы с Вами"

Вице-президент Соединенных Штатов, Майк Пенс, выразил решительную приверженность США независимости и территориальной целостности Грузии в различных выступлениях в ходе своего короткого визита в Тбилиси, в рамках европейского тура.

Во время ужина, состоявшегося в понедельник вечером (31 июля), Пенс сообщил грузинской стороне, что президент США Дональд Трамп направил очень четкий посыл: "Мы с вами; мы стоим с вами за свободу и за наши общие ценности".

Пенс повторил это сообщение во вторник утром, в ходе встречи с представителями оппозиционных партий Грузии. "Мы получили ясную поддержку от вице-президента Соединенных Штатов в отношении безопасности Грузии и территориальной целостности страны," - сказал журналистам после встречи с вице-президентом США, Давид Бакрадзе, лидер партии Европейская Грузия.

"Прозвучало очень четкое послание о том, что новая администрация США и президент Трамп продолжают проводить четкую политику в поддержке безопасности Грузии, что является самой большой гарантией того, что в будущем Грузия обязательно станет единой, станет членом НАТО и будет защищенной и успешной страной, такой как Эстония сегодня, откуда прибыл вице-президент США, и, например, Черногория, куда он направляется из Грузии. Послания и маршрут визита Майка Пенса однозначно подтверждают решительную поддержку США территориальной целостности Грузии," - сказал журналистам Давид Бакрадзе.

По его словам, в ходе встречи с оппозицией состоялась открытая дискуссия, в ходе которой также говорилось и о поддержке процесса интеграции Грузии в НАТО.

По словам Давида Бакрадзе, речь шла о внутреннем развитии страны и проблемах, существующих в этом направлении.

"США очень заинтересованы в том, чтобы Грузия была стабильной демократией. Стабильная демократия - это ключ к нашей безопасности, евроатлантической интеграции и экономическому развитию. Все это зависит от демократического развития страны", - сказал Давид Бакрадзе.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
