UN General Assembly
1968

44. Despite the withdrawal, about a year ago, of the United Arab Republic forces whose presence in Yemen was taken by some reactionary Powers as a pretext for intervention in our internal affairs, the interventionists never gave up their interventions and dreams. Nay, intervention has become more virulent and more open. Money and arms for the purpose of sabotage, destruction and corruption have been flowing into our country in an unprecedented manner. Even foreign mercenaries are being brought and sent into Yemen in blind, ruthless and hopeless attempts to destroy the Yemeni revolution, the Yemen Republic and the Yemeni people. It is superfluous to state that these hostile and senseless acts are in contravention of the principles of the United Nations Charter and the convention of the League of Arab States, and run counter to the age-old, honoured and respected basis principles of good neighbourliness.
