Houthis reneged on Sweden agreement: Yemeni FM

Houthis reneged on Sweden agreement:  Yemeni FM
  • Yemeni, Saudi and UAE missions will send detailed report to UN on the Houthi violations
  • This comes as Saudi Arabia and the US agreed to reduce any escalation of violence in Yemen

DUBAI:  Nothing has been achieved in the month since the Sweden agreement was signed, Yemen’s Foreign Minister Khalid Al-Yamani said on Monday evening, adding that Houthi militants remain active in areas they agreed to leave.  

Yemeni, Saudi and UAE missions said they will send a detailed report to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the UN Security Council on the Houthi violations to the agreement.

Al-Yamani said the Houthis had not implemented any of the 75 points agreed on in Sweden, that Yemen is under international supervision and under the UN resolution 2451, adding that the militia did not respect any international law or agreements.

This comes as Saudi Arabia and the US agreed to reduce any escalation of violence in Yemen in order to allow the UN international envoy an opportunity to find a solution to the crisis.
