Jeddah — Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretary-General Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed has strongly condemned reported Houthi attacks on Makkah, Madinah, Taif and Jeddah, urging the Muslim world to take a collective and firm stance to deter the group.
He said the ballistic-missile targeting of Wadi al-Maghmmas, near the sacred plain of Arafat, showed the Houthis’ disregard for the sanctity of Islamic holy sites and the safety of civilians. He warned that continued attacks could have serious consequences.
The OIC chief described the violation of Islamic holy sites as an attack on the entire Muslim Ummah and called for urgent international action to halt the attacks and hold those responsible accountable.
He reaffirmed the OIC’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and backed all measures taken by the kingdom to protect its security, sovereignty, territorial integrity, citizens and residents.
