MARIB-SABA
Vice President Lt. Gen. Ali Mohsen Saleh said that breaking covenants has been a habitual characteristic of the Houthis since they began their gloomy movement.

Chairing a meeting for Marib's local government on Tuesday, the Vice President said the militias' secured all their military advances in the past by the way of breaking peace deals and launching surprise assaults.

"But not by their military might which did not even qualify them to take over the village of Dammaj" in Saada in 2013.
"The Houthis achieved what they achieved only by exploiting the contradictions that were prevailing the political activity in the country. The militias exploited that to advance until they arrived in the capital Sana'a," he said.

"They believe in no charter of covenant. While others may be prioritizing the country's interest and signing deals [with them], the Houthis seize the opportunity to conduct elimination assasinations to achieve their goals."

The Vice President congratulated the people on the nearing occasion of 26th September Revolution and hailed the heroic performances of the Maribi people in defending the Republic of Yemen against the Iran-aligned militias.
