Aden, Newsyemen :
Prime Minister Dr. Moeen Abdumalek refused to talk about surprising consultations from Griffiths call to stop the escalation from Marib, while the Houthi coup militias are taking advantage of the international truce and opened new fronts of war.
In the first official response to the statements of the UN envoy Martin Griffiths during his visit to the city of Marib on Saturday, the Prime Minister was surprised to talk about consultations in light of the escalation of the Houthi coup militias, and its continued refusal to implement the Stockholm Agreement.
He described the discussion about the consultations as "meaningless unless there is an effective international move to pressure the militias and the Iranian regime supporting them to acquiesce to a political solution."
The official Yemeni news agency quoted the Prime Minister as saying during his reception on the Chinese ambassador on Sunday that calls for international calm to reduce the escalation should be directed and committed to the coup Houthi militia that took advantage of the armistice in Hodeidah under the Stockholm Agreement to open new fronts and deepen the humanitarian catastrophe caused by it. "
The Prime Minister made the remarks, during his meeting with the Chinese Ambassador to Yemen, Kang Yong, where they discussed the latest developments on the national scene in light of the recent military escalation of the Houthi militia, and the impact of this on the complexity of efforts for a political solution and the reliable role for China and the international community in this aspect.
