Aden, NewsYemen:
The head of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, confirmed the failure of the United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, to persuade the Houthi terrorist militia to open roads to the besieged city of Taiz and other governorates.
In a speech he delivered to the Arab League on Sunday, Al-Alimi indicated a state of frustration over the possibility of achieving peace with a "terrorist group that devoted its efforts and platforms to mobilization and death, not life."
He added that the government has fulfilled its promises to operate commercial flights between Sanaa, Amman and Cairo, "while all the roads of Taiz and other governorates are still under the Houthi siege."
He explained that in the first month of the truce, all fuel ships entered the port of Hodeidah without the Houthis fulfilling the clause of depositing, delivering and disbursing salaries in the militia's areas of control.
He expressed his hope for an initiative by the League to arrange an Arab and international meeting for the reconstruction of Yemen in coordination with the Coalition to Support Legitimacy and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Al-Alimi said that he is looking forward to an active role for the Arab League in order to open the crossings of Taiz and other cities and save the tanker Safer from collapse.
He pointed out that the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, visited Sana'a two days ago and could not convince the Houthi leaders to implement their pledges to lift the siege on Taiz and other provinces.
