Yemen is ready to engage in the UN brokered peace efforts with its own rebel militia of Houthis, motivated by the aspiration that the efforts may bring about a much awaited “end to the six year war.”
The country’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Abdullah Al-Saadi, told a UN Security Council session yesterday that the government, as directed by President Abd-Rabbu M. Hadi, is keen on ending this unjust war with which the Houthis brought “the worst humanitarian crisis upon the Yemeni people and killed off the dream of Yemenis in a future federal democratic state.”
As with all the previous invitations and initiatives, the government has reacted positively to the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths’ first draft of the Joint Declaration, said Al-Saadi. He regretted, however, the Houthi militia’s stipulation of “new conditions every time on the blueprint, the foot-dragging and other obstructions to the efforts of the Special Envoy.”
