Al-Ajri reveals reasons behind coalition’s refusal to solution in Taiz

SANAA, June. 29 (YPA) – Member of the Sanaa negotiating delegation, Abdul-Malik Al-Ajri, revealed on Wednesday the reasons behind the refusal of the Saudi-led coalition party to the solution in Taiz province.

The coalition-backed party does not want a solution in Taiz, in order to escape payment of state’s employees’ salaries and the issue of the humanitarian file, al-Ajri said on Twitter.

“The Sanaa national party requested at the beginning of the truce to increase flights to four per week, and the response came that the truce is just temporary for two months, he added.

“We do not want to burden it with demands to facilitate its passage, in the basic agreement, flights will be increased and the humanitarian file accommodated,” he indicated that this logic disappeared in Taiz.

“In Taiz, we announced our readiness to open a number of roads as a first step that would fulfill the purposes of a two-month truce. In the basic agreement, all roads are opened in Taiz and elsewhere,” he explained.

Al-Ajri emphasized that the coalition side did not accept the logic on which the armistice was established, despite the difference between the two matters, in which a decision to close the airport was purely arbitrary and not linked to any military complications.
