Sana’a, 28/11/2022: The National Reconciliation Movement (NRM) sends its deepest condolences to the Yemeni people, the Arab and Islamic nation, and all humanity following the death of the great poet and Yemen’s cultural and national icon Prof. Abdulaziz Al-Maqaleh, may his soul rests in peace.
With his literary genius, enlightenment efforts, and patriotic stances, Al-Maqaleh has planted the seeds for a journey of light for many generations to come in Yemen, raising its name high in the Arab and Islamic world, as well as internationally.
Since his revolutionary beginnings in the 1950s, Al-Maqaleh championed the rights and freedoms of Yemenis, the sovereignty, integrity, and independence of Yemen, and stood by the legitimate aspirations of his people for justice, equality, prosperity, and modernity.
His recent stances on the war, which were reflected in his recent poetic writings, were as a compass that guides the people of Yemen to struggle to end the war and reach a sustainable peace.
While NRM feels devastated by this great loss, the profound legacy he left behind constitutes true consolation for the Yemeni people in their long path to peace and a bright future.
