The Yemeni government accused the Houthi militia of seeking to thwart all efforts to pacify and bring peace to Yemen because of its stances refusing to implement the terms of the UN armistice that was recently extended for two additional months, especially with regard to opening roads and crossings in Taiz and other Yemeni governorates.

The government considered that the militias’ intransigence and refusal to deal positively with international and international efforts to resolve the Yemeni crisis and achieve peace in Yemen, and their continued recruitment and combat mobilization operations and launching attacks on Yemeni army sites and civilian areas in separate areas, and their refusal to open roads and crossings, are indications that do not encourage the continuation of the truce. .

Yemeni Minister of Information Muammar al-Iryani said, in a statement to the official Saba news agency, that the UN truce and road consultations once again revealed to the inside and outside the reality of the militias and that they stand as a stumbling block in the way of calm and peace efforts.

Al-Eryani called on the international community, the United Nations, and the UN and US envoys to reconsider the way they deal with the Houthi militia, and to put real pressure on them to engage in good faith in efforts to calm down and bring peace, and to prevent them from exploiting the armistice to arrange their papers and prepare for a new cycle of escalation.

For his part, Yemeni Minister of Legal Affairs and Human Rights Ahmed Arman said, in tweets on Twitter, that the militias’ rejection of the UN envoy’s proposal to open Taiz roads, and their continued violations of the armistice, which exceeded three thousand violations within two months, are all negative indicators that threaten international and UN efforts regarding the matter.

This is the first session of the council, after the extension of the UN armistice, as the session comes in light of the Houthi militia's continued rejection of the UN envoy's proposals regarding lifting the siege on the city of Taiz.
