Sanaa: No peace can be achieved without lifting the siege

• 

Supreme Political Council of Yemen affirmed, on Wednesday, that no peace can be achieved without lifting the siege off of the Yemeni people and respecting the sovereignty and independence of Yemen, expressing "regret" that Saudi Arabia has not given a "clear" reaction to their ceasefire offer and initiative of true, permanent peace.

“The Yemeni initiative demonstrated, without doubt, Yemen's keenness to restore peace and good neighborliness," the Council stressed.

The Council went on to say that "if the siege is not lifted and the country's sovereignty and independence are not achieved," he emphasized, "then Yemen's leadership and people preserve their full right to take whatever political and military steps they deem appropriate, in a manner that ensures the complete and undiminished fulfillment of their legitimate rights."

On his account, Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that no peace can be achieved without lifting the siege.

It is worth mentioning that Al-Bakhiti stressed in an interview for Al Mayadeen, on Wednesday, that the siege of Yemen is a military one and its continuation is considered a continuation of military action, which means that the strikes against the countries of aggression will continue.

He explained that the countries of aggression must end their aggression, stop the siege, and withdraw their forces from Yemen, noting that "Saudi Arabia knows that Ansar Allah will not agree to participate in the call for dialogue in Riyadh."

The Saudi-led coalition announced yesterday the cessation of military operations in Yemen starting 6 am this morning and claimed that "the cessation of military operations inside Yemen comes to make the consultations successful and create a positive environment for peacemaking."
