Ansarullah Rejects Preconditions for Resuming Peace Talks
Spokesman of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement Zeifollah al-Shami rejected the conditions set by fugitive Yemeni President Mansour Hadi for the resumption of peace talks.
Al-Shami’s remarks came in reaction to the recent statements of Hadi who proposed new conditions for peace talks in Yemen.
“This movement will take part in the (upcoming) Geneva peace talks without any preconditions,” Al-Shami said on Thursday.
In relevant remarks in April, a senior member of Ansarullah also rejected the Hadi’s conditions for peace talks.
“No one from the camp of the fugitive and ousted Yemeni president (Mansour Hadi) can set conditions for resumption of talks,” Anatolian news agency quoted Al-Bokhaiti as saying at the time.
He called on all Yemeni political groups to return to the negotiating table and continue their talks under the auspices of the United Nations.
Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen in the last 72 days to bring its ally, fugitive president Mansour Hadi, back to power.
The airstrikes have so far claimed the lives of more than 4,229 civilians, mostly women and children.
According to a recent report by Freedom House Foundation, most of the victims of the deadly Al Saud campaign are civilians, including a large number of women and children.
Thousands of residential buildings have been destroyed, and hundreds of civil and public facilities were reduced to rubble as a result of the bombardments by Saudi warplanes on the Yemeni cities and towns, the group said.
