The head of the government team in the Coordination Committee for the redeployment in Hodeidah, Major General bin Zaid bin Aziz said that his team linked the implementation of the second phase of redeployment by agreement on power, security and financial resources.
Al-Huthi said it had shown flexibility in carrying out the first phase of the agreement under the intransigence of the other side and its refusal to reveal the maps of the mines.
The spokesman of the UN Secretary General, Farhan Haq, quoted the head of the Committee for the Coordination of Redeployment Mark Lolsgaard as saying that the delegations of the Yemeni government and the Houthis agreed to activate a new mechanism and measures, in order to strengthen the cease-fire and calm as soon as possible.
Farhan said that the meeting of members of the two-day redeployment coordination committee on board a ship off the coast of Hodeidah, during which the parties agreed on two documents related to the concept of operations in phases I and II, for the mutual redeployment of forces in Hodeidah.
He pointed out that the Committee for the Coordination of Redeployment had completed its technical work and was awaiting the decision of the political leaders concerned to proceed with implementation.
The committee was established under the Stockholm agreement between the government and the Houthis, and its first meeting was held in December last year in an area controlled by the Houthis.
The redeployment was supposed to take place in the ports and the city within 21 days from the date of entry into force of the cease-fire, but this has not been implemented despite about seven months of the agreement.
