The US-Saudi aggression used the issue of opening roads to justify its siege of ports and airports and covering it up, says member of the National Delegation.
“We are keen to alleviate the suffering of the people, and in the circumstances of the confrontations there is a forced closure of some main roads to preserve the safety of citizens,” AbdulMalik Alejri said in a statement to Al-Masirah on Tuesday
He pointed out that the measures in Taiz were imposed by military necessities to preserve the lives of citizens, while the closure of the ports and the airport was not justified.
The US-Saudi aggression and its mercenaries are attempting to hold Sana’a responsible for undermining efforts to reach complete peace by claiming to avoid its commitment to lift the siege on Taiz governorate.
The lie of the siege of Taiz is refuted by the operation of blocking roads by the Saudi-mercenaries in Marib and a number of governorates, and the resulting human suffering. These allegations represent the common factor of Saudi Arabia, its mercenaries, and the US. The goal is to demonize Sana’a and turn it from a victim to an accused, in return for diluting the crimes of aggression and its siege, which created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, according to the UN and international organizations.
Alejri explained that the military committee went for dialogue and had a package of options, whether in Taiz or elsewhere, stressing the keenness to make the best use of the truce.
He underestimated the performance of the Saudi-led aggression in the truce, indicating that it does not augur well for the future.
“The Saudi-led aggression did not implement the truce’s most important provisions of the two weekly flights.”
He pointed out that the spy planes did not stop, and the United Nations had previously warned that any breach of the truce would be dealt with.
“Sana’a was still exercising restraint,” the member of the National Delegation stressed.
Regarding extending the truce, Alejri affirmed that the delegation has not discussed this issue with the United Nations so far, stressing the need to implement the provisions of the truce first in the required manner and that any extension will be by improving humanitarian conditions.
He pointed out that an extension is out of the question as long as there is no commitment to the terms of the truce, wondering: “On what basis are we looking at extending it?”
He considered any extension of the truce to be in light of the evaluation of the previous stage and the improvement of humanitarian conditions.
