ADEN-SABA
The Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Muammar al-Eryani, stated that the initiative launched by the Member of the Presidential Leadership Council Major General Sultan al-Aradah to open the roads linking Ma'rib with Sana'a is a remarkable fact to all that Houthi terrorist militia is the one who closes the roads between the provinces and rejects all initiatives of alleviating suffering of Yemeni people.

Muammar al-Eryani clarified in a press statement to Saba that the initiative comes within the framework of the directives of the Presidential Council, led by President Dr. Rashad al-Alimi and the government to alleviate the suffering of our resilient and patient Yemeni people facilitate the movement of citizens and ensure the smooth flow of food and basic supplies between the provinces and alleviate the severity of the humanitarian suffering over the war and the militia's coup.

He pointed out that the Houthi terrorist militias have thwarted dozens of government initiatives, local mediations, and agreements sponsored by the United Nations over the past years to open roads between the provinces, including the Stockholm Agreement of 2018, which stipulated lifting the unjust blockade on Taiz Province, the most densely populated governorate in Yemen, and opening the roads linking Hodeida with the neighboring provinces.

He also highlighted that this initiative once again reveals the true and ugly face of the Houthi militias, which launch terrorist attacks on commercial ships and oil tankers in international navigation lines in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden, while falsely claiming to lift the siege on Gaza.

Meanwhile, they continue for the tenth consecutive year to cut Yemen's connections, imposing a brutal blockade on a number of provinces, resulting in the worst humanitarian crisis and suffering in the world.
