Yemen.. Houthi militia's escalating agenda aborts peace efforts

Yemeni political sources said that the terrorist Houthi militia is continuing to implement an escalatory agenda aimed at aborting all peace efforts and returning to the humanitarian truce sponsored by the United Nations, noting that the terrorist attacks it is launching on economic interests and oil ports in Shabwa, Hadramout is the biggest proof of that.

The sources added, "The Houthis' agenda is not Yemeni but foreign, and aims to control the strategic waterway represented in Bab al-Mandab, and control the routes of global energy supplies that pass through the passage, and when it failed to achieve this, it launched its threats to target ships that will pass through the waterway and the Red Bahrain." and the Arab.”

The sources were surprised by the continuing international efforts led by the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, regarding the return to extend the truce, while the militias continue to launch terrorist attacks on a daily basis on civilians and Yemeni oil and economic interests.

The UN envoy to Yemen had held a consultation session in his office in the Jordanian capital, Amman, which included Yemeni feminist components, to discuss ways to return to the armistice and expand the peace process in Yemen.

The Omani capital, Muscat, witnessed Omani-American talks between the two countries’ foreign ministers with the participation of the American envoy to Yemen, focused on efforts to renew the truce in Yemen, amid the continued rejection of the Houthi militias, as the two sides affirmed support for a “political solution in Yemen” and not to return to war. And they renewed their commitment to support the renewal of the armistice, the establishment of a permanent ceasefire, and the advancement of a political solution in Yemen.

While the international community condemned the Houthi attacks, especially those targeting civilians and threatening international navigation, and demanded them to stop and return to extending the truce and the peace track, the Yemeni government renewed its demand to take strict measures to classify the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization and dry up its sources of funding.

The official Saba news agency quoted a Yemeni Foreign Ministry statement as saying that the Houthi attacks that targeted the displaced and civilians in Marib, and which targeted the Qena port in Shabwa, represent "a clear violation of all international calls to stop the escalation and stop targeting the infrastructure."

This comes, as the militias admitted targeting the port of Qena in Shabwa, citing it as one of the means of putting pressure on the Yemeni government and the international community to achieve its demands for disbursing the salaries of its terrorist elements.

In addition, the militias continued to target civilians and the displaced in the city of Marib with booby-trapped marches, as the air defenses of the Yemeni forces and the local resistance in the province managed during the past hours to bring down a Houthi march that was on its way to a camp for the displaced in the west of the province.

On the other hand, a member of the Presidential Command Council and the leader of the national resistance in Yemen, Brigadier Tariq Saleh, confirmed the start of a new phase in the country whose slogan is "cooperation between the parties to the battle for liberation, military coordination on the fronts, political openness between the parties, and rational management of differences."

During his meeting with members of the Reconciliation and Community Peace Committee in Taiz Governorate, he indicated that the leadership and members of the Leadership Council hope that "Taiz will lead this stage in which we overcome conflicts and divisions," calling for opening dialogues with the people of Taiz who are involved in the ranks of the Houthi militia, whether they are in the leadership row or deceived them on the battlefronts.

In Al-Bayda, local sources in the Al-Zahir district stated that the militias sent reinforcements and weapons, including strategic missiles, to the Al-Mudhabi area in the district, which prompted the joint forces stationed on the fronts of Hadd Yafea, to target those reinforcements that threaten their positions.

On the west coast, the commander of the Hays axis in the joint forces, Brigadier General Bahji al-Ramadi, stated that the Houthi militia committed a crime against the residents of the villages of the Al-Faza and Al-Jabali regions in the Al-Tahita district, south of Al-Hodeidah, forcibly expelling them from their villages and turning them into a combat barracks for its terrorist elements.

Regarding the Houthi mines that continue to claim the lives of civilians, two civilians died as a result of the explosion of a landmine left by the militias in the Anbara area in Al-Jawf Governorate, while the Saudi project to clear mines in Yemen Masam announced the removal and destruction of 1,392 mines and explosives left by the Houthis in Bab Al-Mandeb on the coast. western Yemen.
