Then Asiri answered reporters' questions. In response to a question on the role of the coalition forces to convince innocent citizens to leave Saadah, he said the coalition has previously alarmed Yemeni citizens to leave Saada and drew the attention that they have a role in convincing Houthi soldiers to allow departees to quit Yemen and abandon the tactic of taking the risk of using people as human shields. Moreover, there are Yemeni tribes who are qualified to change the balance on the ground, noting that it's a joint task and responsibility to be shared by the citizens, tribesmen, Yemeni army loyal to the legitimacy to provide support for people against this militia. Asked to confirm reports that deposed Ali Abdullah Saleh has dared to use or store nuclear warheads in Sanaa, in particular, in Jebel Neg, Asiri said he has no idea to such reports, saying that no such idea has been circulated in Yemeni northern border. Asked to give a certain period or a time-frame for such a truce to survive, he said the Houthis have rejected all ceasefire initiatives, citing the UN resolution No. 2216, the Yemeni president's initiative to call for a political dialogue, and the monarch's proposal to establish King Salman center for relief and humanitarian works in Riyadh, moves being rejected by the Houthi militias. He said the operation restoration of hope aims at evacuating foreign dependants stranded in Yemen, providing support for relief and humanitarian works and adding that the unit formed to achieve this vision has issued more than 340 license for aircraft and transit landing at Saada from multi-origin nationalities. He said the Houthi group is trying to market its lies through social outlets and other media, but our citizens depend on differentiating between facts and lies. --SPA 00:48 LOCAL TIME 21:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
