Yemen’s Foreign Minister Khalid Al-Yamani has said that the government is expecting a detailed summary on UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths’ meetings with all Yemeni parties, confirming that Houthi militias will eventually accept the implementation of UN Resolution 2216. He said that the Yemeni government is in full cooperation with Griffiths’ peace efforts, adding he will be meeting up with the UN envoy in New York next week. “The Yemeni government will go ahead in extending its hand to peace and will save no effort to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people in areas under coup militia control,” Yamani told Asharq Al-Awsat on Friday. He said Houthis will come around for talks and will accept the implementation of Resolution 2216, which stipulates that they withdraw from all areas seized during the latest conflict, relinquish arms seized from military and security institutions, cease all actions falling exclusively within the authority of the legitimate Government of Yemen and fully implement previous Council resolutions. The minister said that the governments chief role is to support the peace process and fight back against suffering imposed on Yemeni civilians. “The legitimate government is ready to do everything within its ability to maintain the safety and security of civilians,” Yamani said. Houthi militias are expected to demand UN guarantees from Griffiths before any resumption of consultations with the government. It is likely that the insurgents pressed for the General People’s Congress delegation to remain united with the coup’s delegation in Geneva, and that the file on slain President Ali Abdullah Saleh remains off the agenda of consultations. Allies-turned-foes, Houthi militiamen killed Saleh near Sanaa in December last year. Saleh’s death took place shortly after he announced moving away from the Iran-backed insurgency and closer to neighboring Arab nations backing Yemen’s freely-elected government. Yamani asserts that the legitimate government will support all UN efforts to achieve and restore security and stability to the Yemeni people. Addressing a recent push by national army forces against coup ranks in the port city of Hodeidah, Yamani stressed that it is meant to crack down on militia arms smuggling and weaken their positions across battlefronts. Saying that Houthis, facing defeat, will hand over the key post city, Yamani explained that liberating Hodeidah will effectively cut off Iran-supplied arms coming in through the docks and into militia hands. "The Yemeni diplomacy is working with Arab diplomats and participating in all international movements,” Yamani said when addressing Yemeni diplomatic efforts. As for Iran-backed militias, namely “Hezbollah”, Yamani said that direct and firm evidence was presented before diplomatic and judicial circles on their involvement in Yemen’s civil war. Yamani said Hezbollah’s presence in Yemen is a great embarrassment for the Lebanese state. His comment came after he recently met with Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Cairo and talked over the issue of Lebanese militia interference in Yemen. However, he said Beirut is fully aware of the danger entailed when a party violates the dissociation policy on distancing itself from regional conflicts. Yamani stressed that the Yemeni government stands in solidarity with the Lebanese people, but does not want any political faction in Lebanon to interfere in its domestic and foreign affairs.
