Shura Council member, Major General Ahmed Mohammed Qahtan Al-Mujibi, mourned the former Yemeni Ambassador Abdullah Salem Al-Hanki, who passed away in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, following medical treatment for a health issue.
In a condolence statement published on Wednesday, Al-Mujibi said that Al-Hanki was a model of patriotism and dedication to serving Yemen, noting that he began his career in the armed forces before joining the diplomatic corps to become one of its most prominent figures.
He recalled milestones from the deceased's career, including his participation in the Arab Deterrent Force in Lebanon in 1976, and his appointment as Yemen's ambassador to Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War, where he continued his diplomatic duties despite the escalating battles and the departure of most foreign and Arab ambassadors and diplomats.
Al-Mujibi noted that Al-Hanki was one of the founders of the Southern Yemeni National Salvation Council and played a prominent role in its activities, in addition to his contributions to national work and his efforts to unify ranks and bring people together.
He added that the deceased belonged to a patriotic family; his father, Sheikh Salem Mohammed Al-Hanki, was a symbol of the revolution, and his brother was the journalist Ahmed Salem Al-Hanki, whom he described as a martyr, while his other brother was the poet Abdulkarim Al-Hanki.
Al-Mujibi affirmed that Al-Hanki left an honorable national and diplomatic legacy, expressing his condolences to his family, relatives, and loved ones.
