Yemen’s Prime Minster, Abdulaziz bin Habtoor has affirmed on Sunday that “the Supreme Political Council and government will not accept any truce if it is not linked to a tangible relief”.
“State employee salaries that have been suspended for seven years need to be paid, and Sana’a Airport needs more than one travel destination. This is essential for the success of any future truce,” Abdulaziz bin Habtoor told Al-Masirah TV.
“We agreed to a truce within a gradual lifting of the siege. If the truce does not directly serve civilians’ interests, we have no need for it,” the Prime Minster added.
Less than 24 hours are currently left before the end of the four-month truce in Yemen, amid uncertainty about its fate despite the international and regional efforts to extend it for another six months.
According to the data, the terms of the truce have not been achieved since its announcement four months ago, even the minimum terms, which is operating more flights and allowing the entry of 30 fuel ships into the port of Hodeidah.
Despite the efforts of Yemen and UN negotiatiors, the Saudi-led coalition has consistently violated truce terms and refused to lift or even significantly loosen the murderous blockade on Yemen.
