RIYADH-SABA
The Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Abdul-Malik al-Mekhlafi has demanded the international community to take a more serious stance and utter a clear condemnation of the criminal Houthi coupists.
In a meeting with the Russian Ambassador to Yemen Vladimir Dedushkin, in Riyadh on Tuesday, al-Mekhlafi said that President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi was clear in Monday's address that the government is keen on keeping the GPC party coherent and involved in the country's political process.
The two officials discussed the latest developments including the Houthi militia's use of terrorist means against civilian oppositionists in the capital Sana'a and their killing of the former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and physical elimination of dozens of others on Monday.
The Russian Ambassador renewed his country's condemnation of these acts, concern about the consequences of them and support to the government.
