From Oman, to Egypt, to Iraq and finally Algeria, the General People's Congress Party is touring the region to rally support for an end to the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen.
After leaving Oman, a delegation from the People's Congress Party headed for Cairo where it met with Egyptian officials and Arab League Secretary-General Nabil El-Araby in a bid to reiterate their stance toward the war on Yemen.
Headed by Aref Awad Zouka, the representatives also convened with former Arab League Chief Amr Moussa who expressed solidarity with the people of Yemen calling for an end to the bloody conflict and the need to return to an intra-Yemeni dialogue.
The delegation made clear to Moussa that the People's Congress Party has made initiatives to stop the aggression, lift the siege, and revive the political process through national dialogue. The group also stressed that foreign intervention can only hamper any progress on the political level.
For his part, Sameh Ashour, chairman of the Arab Lawyers Union, said that the former Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh's party believed Egypt is the Arab country that is most capable of containing the situation and resolving the conflict.
After wrapping up the trip to Cairo, the delegation will visit both Iraq and Algeria as part of a larger bid to reach a political solution to the conflict.
Although Egypt is a member of the coalition bombarding Yemen, spearheaded by Riyadh, it has voiced conviction in a political solution to the Yemeni crisis.
Yemen has been under aerial attack since March when the Saudi regime unleashed a volley of bombs on the Yemeni army, Ansarullah positions, as well as civilian-populated areas to allegedly reinstate fugitive President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi following a mass movement that led to his resignation.
Local sources estimate a casualty figure of 4,500 during the four months of violence while the UN has voiced concern over a worsening humanitarian situation in Yemen where based on its underestimated statistics at least 1,500 civilians have been killed, more than 3,000 injured, and one million displaced.
