ADEN, (Pakistan Point News - 02nd Jul, 2018) Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi reiterated today that peace will only prevail in Yemen if Iran-backed Houthi militia hands over their weapons and withdraws from cities under their control.
Speaking during an expanded meeting in Presidential Palace in Aden with commanders of the ministry of defence and the Fourth Military Command, President Hadi underscored that the legitimate government is in favour of a real, just peace and that any negotiations or political process require a true implementation of the UNSC Resolution 2216 which ''demands the Houthis withdraw from all areas seized during the conflict, relinquish arms seized from military and security institutions.'' ''Houthis' promises and desire for peace with each defeat they face and their disrespect for charters and agreements are absolutely unaccepted. The Yemeni people can no longer tolerate procrastinations to protract the war,'' he stressed.
The Yemeni president emphasised that Houthi militia and their backers in Tehran have two options: either to implement the three main references (the Gulf initiative, the outcomes of the National Dialogue and the UN Security Council Resolution 2216) or bear the consequences of their stubbornness.
''The goal of eradicating the most dangerous Iranian expansionist project is approaching,'' added.
This project, he continued, poses risk to Yemen's present and future and the Yemeni people reject sectarianism and the alien Iranian ideologies through their proxy coup militia.
