Houthi accusations
For his part, the President of the Presidential Command Council in Yemen, Rashad Al-Alimi, accused yesterday, Sunday, the Houthi group of evading the implementation of its obligations under the UN armistice in force in the country.
This came during a speech he addressed to the Yemeni people on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the September 26 revolution, which overthrew the Imamate regime in the country in 1962.
"We have spent the past months proving the falsity of the militias, and we confronted their lies with the truth, and we challenged them by siding with the people," Al-Alimi said.
He explained that "within 6 months of the truce's life, dozens of flights landed at Sana'a International Airport, and more than 50 fuel ships loaded with 1.4 million tons of oil hardships entered the Houthi-controlled ports of Hodeidah."
On the second of last August, the United Nations announced the agreement of the Yemeni government and the Houthi group to extend the armistice between them for two additional months, "a commitment from the parties to intensify negotiations to reach an expanded armistice agreement as soon as possible," as she put it.
