President Al-Mashat reveals Sanaa’s position on extending armistice

SANAA, May 22 (YPA) – President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, on Sunday affirmed that Sanaa is not against extending the truce, but it cannot accept any truce in which the suffering of the Yemeni people continues.

During his speech this evening on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Yemeni unity, President Al-Mashat said “the citizen did not see a difference between the armistice and the non-truce, which was not encouraging enough.”

President Al-Mashat called for real and encouraging cooperation that leads to improving humanitarian and economic benefits in any upcoming truce.

He stressed that it is necessary to discuss more humanitarian and economic solutions as an urgent priority required for alleviating the suffering of the besieged Yemeni people.
