Yemen’s new foreign minister is vowing that the government will “end any attempt to tear apart our homeland.”

In his address to the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly at the U.N. headquarters in New York on Sept. 28, Mohammed Abdullah al-Hadrami sharply criticized Iranian-backed Houthi rebels who control much of the country’s north and the United Arab Emirates, which supports forces seeking their own nation in the south.
