Sana’a: All Al Houthi rebels will start withdrawing from the houses they have occupied in the old city of Sa'ada so that the displaced people can now return to their houses said a mediator.

"We agreed with the representative of Al Houthi rebels that their followers who barricade in some houses of the old city, will all withdraw today," said Ali Abu Hulaika, the chairman of the mediation committee in Sa'ada city.

The people, who left their houses once the war erupted last August, will return to their houses in the old city, said Abu Hulaika.

Abu Hulaika said the time set for implementing the conditions of ending the war is now almost over while his committee is yet to finish the task which it should have completed.

"The procrastination of the Al Houthi rebels was behind that delay, but we are seeking additional time to finish our task," he said.

Meanwhile, the Yemeni Prime Minister Ali Mohammad Mujawar, said in press statements Thursday , that his government is ready to launch a new round of war if Al Houthi rebels fail to abide by the six conditions for ending the conflict.

The decree of ending the war came only after the rebels yielded to the six conditions, which were set by the government. If the rebels recanted at any point, this decree will be reconsidered , Mujawar said.
