President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said that his government ceased the showdown with Houthi rebels in the port city of Hodeidah in quest of peace, not to free up the militia to start other wars.
In an address to the nation on the eve of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, Hadi said: We have ceased the hostilities in Hodeidah in quest of peace, not to free up the rebel militia to start other wars."
"Ramadan is coming back again as our patient people still suffer the impact of the havoc brought by the Houthi coupist militia on the national economy…especially in the areas under the militia's control," said Hadi.
He said the militia had deprived public employees of salaries, used public funds "to buy loyalties, recruit child fighters, mislead the incredulous people and finance the militia's wars against the Yemeni people."
He said he had wished that the militia honored the Stockholm Agreement for it would lead to peace and ensure the release of scores of abductees in custody of the militia. He said these prisoners and abductees are "subject to the worst crimes against humanity" at the hands of the Iran affiliated militia.
"In the face of Houthi foot-dragging towards peace as is the clear case of them avoiding the Stockholm peace deal, we call upon the international community and the UN Security Council to tighten their pressure to force the militia to stick to peace and not to circumvent peace deals," said Hadi.
