Demanding Yemenis pull out Hodieda as demonding French to pull out Paris to Kingdom

Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi said he had informed Martin Griffiths, the UN special envoy for Yemen, about his readiness to place Hudaydah under the world body’s supervision

“We told the UN envoy, Martin Griffiths, that we are not rejecting the role of supervision and logistics that the UN wants to hold in the port, but on the condition that the aggression against Hodeida stops,” he said

” It is strange to demand that the Yemenis pull out of their city of Hodeida for handing it over to the United Arab Emirates, which is committing an act of aggression against us. Such a demand violates international conventions,” Seyyed said, “It is as if the United Kingdom called on the French to abandon Paris or another city and give it up to the British. It is not logical,” he added

We are ready to stop rocket attack IF stop bombing our country

Said AbdulMalike said ” We are ready to stop the rocket attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE if they stop bombing our country

Seyyed AbdulMalike said that some European countries have exploited the war on Yemen to sell arms deals and carry out military activities, adding, “The Saudi regime uses internationally banned weapons to kill civilians and destroy facilities

Besides France, the US and the UK have also been providing Saudi Arabia with military equipment during the military campaign, drawing strong criticisms from the international community and prominent human rights groups
