RIYADH: The Iran-backed Houthi militia are storing aircraft near populated neighborhoods in the militant-held capital, Sanaa, according to the Arab coalition fighting to support the government in Yemen. Speaking at a weekly press conference in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the Coalition’s Spokesperson Col Turki Al-Maliki said the Houthis are also obstructing the movement of merchant ships and threatening navigation of boats in the Red Sea. He also presented photographs documenting the continued use of civilians as human shields by the Houthis. Col. Al-Maliki said the group have overturned the Stockholm agreement and have committed 3,364 violations since the cease-fire was implemented in December. He also said the coalition facilitates the entry of vital goods through Yemeni ports “quickly and without any exception” but the Houthi militia is hampering efforts to deliver humanitarian aid. “We welcome the convening of the Yemeni Parliament in the city of Sayoun, which represents the isolation of the Houthi militia,” Al-Maliki said.
