Alwaght- The Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement and the General People’s Congress (GPC) party defined their conditions for any revival of talks to end Saudi strikes against the country.
The joint statement calls for the removal of the Saudi-backed Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and a negotiated deal on country’s presidency as primal conditions for such talks.
"Any talks or negotiations by Yemeni delegates must be on the condition that the United Nations offers a written and comprehensive peace plan," they said in a statement published by the official SABA news agency on Tuesday.
"If the proposal does not include an agreement on the new presidential institution, then it [the UN peace plan] becomes merely a partial and incomplete vision, which cannot be a foundation for discussion," the statement adds.
On August 7, the UN-brokered peace talks on the Yemeni conflict ended without an agreement in Kuwait. The negotiations between delegates from the Ansarullah movement and the former Yemeni regime of Hadi had begun on April 21.
Experts said Saudi Arabia’s unreasonable approach caused the UN-backed peace talks on the Yemen war to fail.
Saudi Arabia started daily airstrikes against the Yemeni people since March 2015, in an attempt to reinstate its ally Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi who resigned as Yemeni president and fled took refuge in Riyadh. The United Nations puts the death toll from the military aggression at about 10,000.
