Abdullah al-Alimi, a member of Yemen’s Presidential Council, cautioned that the Houthi militia’s continued mobilisation, regrouping, and violations of the UN ceasefire pose a threat to the peace process.
Al-Alimi made the remarks during a meeting with US Ambassador to Yemen, Stephen Fagin, the Yemen news agency reported on Thursday.
Al-Alimi said that the Houthi militia must keep its promise by taking down the blockade on Taiz, opening roads into and out of the city, and letting Yemeni people move around the country safely and without restrictions.
Fagin agreed that the Houthis’ willingness to follow the UN ceasefire is very important, and he said that the US will continue to help the internationally recognised government of Yemen do its job.
In addition to battling terrorism, al-Alimi noted that the Presidential Leadership Council has a clear strategy for addressing difficulties in the economic, service, security, and military sectors.
The two also discussed measures to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.
