Sana’a: The Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Saturday accused Al Houthi rebels of violating the cease-fire.
“The option of the State is peace, and the rebels are still violating the cease-fire,” Saleh said in a students' graduation ceremony at Sana’a university.
The President repeatedly called on the rebels to abide by the six conditions they have agreed upon in February this year to stop the war.
“We call upon the rebels to abide by the six conditions and their implementation mechanisms,” he said.
On February 12, the rebels accepted six conditions set by the government to end the 6-year-old sporadic conflict. The conditions include the rebels retreating from the mountains and handing over the weapons.
Saleh said Yemen would not allow Al Houthi to undermine its stability and security which are “important for the regional and international security”.
“We call for coordination of efforts to confront terrorism, rebellion, and the outlaws (separatists ),” he said.
