Alwaght- Yemen's Ansarullah movement despite having given difficult concessions in negotiations to establish peace in Yemen, the Saudi-backed side is blocking the peace process by rejecting compromise.
Speaking on Thursday, Ansarullah movement leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi pointed out that, “In order to fulfill its obligations, the Ansarullah delegation brought itself to giving some concessions, some of which were difficult to give,”
“But now, the opposite side has returned to square one and is demanding the surrender of the Yemeni nation,” he added.
Since, April, peace talks have been underway in Kuwait between the two sides in order to find a solution to the country’s conflict.
“There are practical solutions to resolve the conflict and we have proposed many. If the opposite side opts for conflict resolution, we are ready [to cooperate], and if it chooses to keep up the agression, we are also ready [to fight back].”
Abdulmalik al-Houthi reiterated that resistance on the part of the movement is not a “political tactic” but is at the heart of Yemeni values and civilization.
“The continuation of your crimes,” he said, “will never dissuade us from resistance. No matter how much US support you receive, by God, the suffering that you impose on us will bring back but defeat for you,” the Ansarullah leader said in remarks directed at the Saudi regime and its allies.
He accused certain Arab regimes of colluding with Israel, saying they had chosen to fight Muslims.
Nearly 10,000 Yemenis have been killed during the illegal Saudi-led aggression on Yemen since March 2015, with the vast majority of them being innocent civilians including women and children.
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.
The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, markets, schools, factories and mosques.
