The legitimate Yemeni government confirmed its refusal to enter into any new negotiations with the Houthi coup militia, before the latter withdrew from the Hodeidah governorate and its ports, and lifted its blockade of Taiz Governorate.
The Yemeni Minister of Information, Muammar Al-Iryani, said that calls for holding negotiations for a comprehensive solution to the Yemeni crisis between the legitimate government and the Houthi militia loyal to Iran, in light of the escalation of militias and their lack of commitment to implement the previous agreements, are rejected. He added, in a statement to the Yemeni news agency, Saba: Categorically refusing to talk about any negotiations for a comprehensive solution, before the full and unconditional implementation of the provisions of the Swedish agreement, regarding the situation in Hodeidah, the withdrawal of militias from the province and its ports, the release of all prisoners and kidnappers, and the lifting of the siege on the governorate of Taiz », and indicated that any call for future negotiations, Before Implementation Sweden agreement and to end the military escalation by the mercenaries of Tehran (militia Huthi), is just a step absurd to absorb popular anger, hit the state of the national line-up behind the legitimacy and the national army, and to give the militias more time to compensate for human losses and rearrange their ranks.
Al-Iryani stressed that the international community and the United Nations Special Envoy, Martin Griffiths, were unable to exert pressure on the Houthi militias to implement the provisions of the agreement of Sweden, and they would surely fail to force them to engage in a comprehensive settlement to the crisis, based on the three references, in light of the militias' continued to bear arms, and added What the international community, the United Nations, and its special envoy for Yemen do not realize is that the Houthi militias operate according to their fighting ideology and cannot live apart from that.
Al-Iryani stresses the need to compel the militias to fully and unconditionally implement the Sweden Agreement.
