Yemenis Have Always Sought Peace, Dialogue, Says Official
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi said the Yemeni nation prefers peace to war and wants dialogue, al-Ahed News reported.
“We were the ones that after the September 21 Revolution moved toward peace agreement and power sharing,” he added.
He noted that any talks on ending the war will be made based on the conditions that the leader of the Yemeni revolution, Abdul Malik Badreddin al-Houthi specified in a speech marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
He also stressed that the Saudi-led coalition must know that Yemenis’ decisions are made in the country’s capital of Sana’a and not in other capitals.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing popular Ansarullah resistance movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases.
Yemeni armed forces and allied Popular Committees, however, have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders, and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
