National Delegation: US-Saudi Aggression Obstructs Truce Implementation
The head of National Delegation, Mohammad Abdulsalam, affirmed that the terms of the truce are clear and unambiguous, stressing that it is assumed that it is humane to deal with it without any politicization.
In a tweet, Abdulsalam said, Tuesday, that “the terms of the truce are clear and unambiguous, stipulating the cessation of military operations, the opening of the port of Hodeidah to a certain number of ships, and the opening of Sana’a Airport for two flights per week and to two destinations, Jordan and Egypt.”
The head of the National Delegation considered that whoever creates any other conditions is the one who obstructs the implementation of the truce, stressing that “it is assumed to be humane to deal with, without any politicization.”
It should be noted that the declared humanitarian and military truce, two-thirds of its two-month period has expired, in light of the continued closure of Sana’a International Airport, and obstruction of flights to it.
In early April, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016, saying the two-month truce would be eligible for renewal with the consent of parties. The truce meant to halt all military operations in the country and to bring the foreign military invasion to an end.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the truce “must be a first step to ending Yemen’s devastating war,” urging the warring parties to build on the opportunity to “resume an inclusive and comprehensive Yemeni political process.”
The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a “to predetermined destinations in the region.”
The Saudi-led aggression continues to violate the truce by detaining new fuel ships, despite their inspection and obtaining permits from the United Nations, insisting on the closure of Sana’a Airport, as well as, the fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside. Shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl, including a failed advance carried out by mercenaries towards Army and Popular Committee sites south of Marib.
