Yemeni forces ready for halting counter-strikes

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Mohammad Ali al-Houthi said to support peace and removing any pretext from the so-called Saudi-led coalition to continue its aggression, Yemen is ready to stop its missile and drone operations.

"The United Nations Special Representative for Yemen has called for a stop to Yemeni missile and drone attacks, and we also support efforts for peace maintenance" he noted.

The Yemeni official stressed that Yemen has used its ballistic missiles and drones only to defend itself against the Saudi regime's brutalities.

Al-houthi remarked that Yemeni people are suffering the laregest humaniterain catasrophie in the world due to the Saudis and their allies' attacks to the impoverished country.

Yemen has been in turmoil since 2015 when former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi stepped down and fled to Riyadh.

The Houthis took over state affairs to fill the void. The Saudi-led coalition, however, invaded the country to bring back the former Riyadh-allied officials.

Thousands have been killed in the invasion which has also pushed Yemen to the edge of famine.

The two sides began holding several rounds of UN-sponsored talks in Switzerland after the war began, without hammering out anything beyond prisoner exchange deals.

Then they gathered Kuwait in 2016 with hopes of striking a “power-sharing” deal, but the Saudi-backed side left the venue in protest at the Houthis’ demands.

Last time, Griffith invited the two sides to pick up where they had left in Geneva. The Saudis, however, refused to give permission to an Omani plane” to land in the Yemeni

capital Sana’a to take the Houthi delegation to the negotiations.
This time, Griffith has pledged to escort the Houthi delegation from Sana’a if necessary.
