[23/03/2017 02:28]

Aden (Saba) – Prime Minister Ahmed Obaid Bin Daghar has said that Yemen needs $100 billion for reconstruction in ten years.

In an interview with the Emirati-based Albyan newspaper, Bin Daghar on Thursday appreciated the Emirati support for Yemen, stressing that the sacrifices of the United Arab Emirate are great.

He asserted that the legitimate government is ready for a political solution on basis of terms of references, affirming that the proposal presented by the Former US Secretary of State John Kerry was a punishment for the legitimate government and a reward for the putschists.

Bin Daghar also mentioned that Iran provides the Houthis with weapons, pointing out that Iran gave the Houthis modern weapons via sea and land.

He said that the Yemeni government has evidence of Iranian trafficking to Yemen, signaling out that Iran's acts endanger the region as a whole.
