National Military Committee Meets UN Envoy, Examining Military Situation, Violations by US-Saudi Force, Opening Roads

The head of the National Delegation, Mohammad Abdulsalam, stated that the National Military Committee met the UN envoy and his team in the Omani capital, Muscat.

In a tweet, Abdulsalam explained that the military committee discussed with the UN envoy the military situation and violations committed by the US-Saudi aggression and mercenaries, and the issue of opening roads in Taiz and other governorates.

Earlier, Head of Sana’a’s Committee, Yahya Abdullah Al-Razami, confirmed that initiatives were presented in the ongoing discussions in Amman, that will contribute to alleviating all human suffering the Yemeni people is under evaluation.

Al-Razami said that “we look forward to progress in initial steps and the Saudi-backed government to accept opening roads alleviating suffering.”

“The delegation of the Saudi-backed government does not want any discussion of opening roads except in confined areas, in clear violation of the terms of the truce,” he added.

“We hope that Saudi-backed government when it comes to opening all roads will realize the humanitarian responsibility towards our Yemeni people.”

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.
