Ibb University organized today,Tuesday, a scientific symposium entitled 'The Geopolitical Importance of Bab al-Mandab Strait.' The symposium discussed a number of working papers, including the importance of Yemen's geographical location globally, the similarities between America and Israel in violating international law, and the strategic importance of the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Yemeni islands in light of regional and international challenges. In the symposium, the President of the University, Dr. Nasr Al-Hujaili, stressed that the values and ideals of faith identity oblige all members of society to defend their homeland and realize the value of the ruling geographical location that God Almighty has bestowed upon us, and through which international shipping traffic can be controlled by imposing Yemen's sovereignty on all coasts and Yemeni islands. He praised the brave, heroic stance embodied by the senior leadership and the men of the armed forces aimed at curbing the Zionist-American enemy seeking to dominate international shipping. Dr. Al-Hujaili called on members of society to unify ranks, mobilize energies, and stand firmly in the face of the dangerous escalation carried out by the American enemy against Yemeni naval men while they were carrying out their national duty. The symposium was attended by the University's Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Ahmed Abu Lahoum, the University's Secretary General, Abdul-Malik Al-Saqqaf, a large group of academics, administrators, and students.
