Alwaght-Yemen’s revolutionary movement, Ansarullah, says the Saudi regime is not at all committed to the Yemen ceasefire.
“The current problem in Yemen is that the other side of the conflict (Saudi Arabia and its allies) is not committed to the (UN-brokered) ceasefire,” Mohammad Abdul-Salam told Al Mayadeen TV on Monday.
The Ansarullah official also said the international community is responsible for the failure of any peace talks round.
Few hours after the peace talks in Kuwait were announced delayed on Monday, Ansarullah spokesman, Mohammad Abdul-Salam stressed that the revolutionary movement and its allies are keen to abide by dialogue in a bid to ensure stability and end the current conflict.
However, Abdelsalam assured that the Saudi-led coalition, which has been bombing Yemen for more than a year, is not committed to the ceasefire.
“From the first day (of the conflict), the only demand of the national parties (Ansarullah and allies) was dialogue,” Abdul-Salam.
Since the ceasefire started on April 11, the aggression has not stopped in all means. Air strikes went on, with local committee (responsible for ensuring ceasefire) in Jawf province was hit twice by Saudi-led warplanes, Ansarullah spokesman said.
He noted that attempts of ground advance by aggression forces were still going on.
Abdul-Salam meanwhile, stressed that commitment to ceasefire as well as allowing the work of the local committees across the country helps in holding successful peace talks.
The official also said that Ansrullah will call on the United Nations to set an inclusive agenda for constructive and responsible dialogue based on partnership and international laws and not on exclusion and aggression.
Earlier on Monday, UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, announced that the talks have been delayed. Ansarullah stressed that the move was because of the continuous ceasefire violations by the Saudi-led coalition. The truce was announced by the UN special envoy as a step to calm the situation ahead of negotiations between the warring sides which were scheduled to be held in Kuwait on April 18. Yemen has been since March 26, 2015 under brutal aggression by Saudi-led coalition. Saudi Arabia has been waging a war on Yemen since late March 2015 in a bid to reinstate fugitive ex-president Abdul Rabbuh Mansour Hadi and undermine the Ansarullah movement, which took over after Hadi resigned.
Over 9,500 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the Saudi-led brutal military campaign.
Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to the Saudi regime.
