Al-Houthi condemns US plan to demobilizate Yemeni army and security forces

SANAA, Jan. 7 (YPA) – Chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, has said that not paying the salaries to members of the military and security institutions is unacceptable. Due to the financial and economic blockade of Yemen, the government has been unable to pay many of its employees.

He considered it a US criminal step done by the Saudi-led coalition aiming to dismiss army and security.

He stressed the demand for paying salaries to all state employees, including the military and security institutions.

“We called for the payment of salaries to all, and we consider the non-delivery of salaries to the military and security institutions a criminal step orchestrated by a US plan for the Saudi-led aggression and its mercenaries, in order to demobilizate the army and security forces as they did in Iraq,” Mohammed Ali al-Houthi wrote.

“We will not accept it, it is a blatant conspiracy against the heroes of these two institutions, which have refused to obey the aggression,” he said.

He noted that the coalition countries are holding ships licensed by the United Nations and refusing to allow them access to the port of Hodeidah.

“The seizure of ships by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and its allies is a confirmation of their rejection of resolution 2451 of the Security Council, and evidence that the year 2019 will not be unlike its preceded one, but that the US-backed Saudi-led aggression is still practising starvation and blockade as a weapon,” he added.

“The coalition has refused to allow ships from getting a permit from the United Nations Inspection Mechanism (UNVIM).
