President al-Alimi: Dealing with Houthis as Authority of Fait Accompli Means Legitimizing Divine Right, Racism, Weapons Outside State

His Excellency President Dr. Rashad al-Alimi, Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) stated that any approach to put an end of the war in Yemen will never be successful, unless it deals with the Houthi militias as part of an Iranian cross-border scheme, and not as a local political party, warning that reducing any crisis of this kind to truces and arrangements for a ceasefire will lead to temporary risk management rather than building sustainable peace.

Parliament Speaker says Houthis violating de-escalation deals, MOUS everywhere

[29/08/2020 03:24]

RIYADH-SABA
The speaker of Yemen’s parliament Sultan al-Barakani said the Houthis are violating de-escalation deals and memorandums of understanding everywhere.

In a meeting with the Chinese ambassador to Yemen today, al-Barakani said the theocratic armed group are stepping up fight in the provinces of Marib, Beidha and elsewhere in spite of the ceasefire; failing to respect the memorandums of understanding such the Stockholm Agreement and de-escalation mechanisms in Hodeidah; and using the dangerously decaying Safer oil tanker in the Red Sea as an extortion against the international community.

Al-Barakani said the international community unfortunately makes light of this Houthi maximalist attitude on “these issues, which emboldens the militia to go further in stubbornness, bloodshed and destruction.”

“The international community has not done the least bit of thing to stop the Houthi genocidal war which the militia has been waging for months to attempt to press forward on Marib city,” he said.

Al-Barakani and the ambassador Kang Yong also discussed the steps to implement the military aspect of the Riyadh Agreement between the government and the Southern Transitional Council, to set the stage for the return of the government to the temporary capital Aden.

Al-Barakani called for supporting the Saudi efforts to enforce the deal and re-normalize the situations.
