Govt to stay out of Hodeidah truce till UN resolves Houthi threat to monitors

RIYADH - SABA
Yemen's Foreign Minister said his government will stay out of the truce process in the Red Sea port of Hodeidah until the UN mission leading the truce process resolves the Houthi threats to the government ceasefire monitors.

Mohammed al-Hadhrami made the remarks in a phone conversation with Sweden's Special Envoy for Yemen, Ambassador Peter Semneby.

The government and the Houthi guerilla were participating in a UN-led Redeployment and Coordination Committee overseeing truce there. By March 13 persistent Houthi breaches of the ceasefire and finally the killing of a government ceasefire monitor forced the government to suspend its participation in the committee.

Al-Hadhrami informed Semneby that since the suspension the government has not received any updates from the UN mission on what they did to resolve the Houthi threats and obstacles to the ceasefire monitoring process.

He also demanded the UN mission to move their headquarter from areas of Houthi influence to a neutral location.
