DUBAI: The British Ambassador to Yemen Michael Aron has affirmed Britain’s support for efforts exerted by the Arab Coalition fighting to restore stability to Yemen.
The ambassador made the remarks during an interview on the Al Hadath News Channel, during which he was asked about the UK’s stance from the Iranian-backed Houthis militia and the war to restore legitimacy in Yemen.
Aron said that while Britain is not part of the coalition fighting in Yemen, yet it supports the efforts exerted by the bloc to restore stability.
He also said that the Houthis shall seek to form a political party in a step to participate in the political process in the country.
Aron noted that Britain will not accept that Houthis become another example of the Iranian-backed armed group of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
He also said Britain stressed that the Stockholm agreement reached between the legitimate Yemeni government and Houthi militias was important and reached significant results within a year, however, new changes on the ground require a comprehensive political agreement.
