Coalition, Hadi’s gov’t evade implementation of Sweden agreement: Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi

SANAA, Feb. 25 (YPA) – Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi on Monday said that the other party, represented by the exiled Hadi’s government and Saudi-led coalition, continues to evade the implementation of its obligations in the files of prisoners, economy and Taiz.

“The other party seeks to circumvent Sweden agreement and evade its implementation,” Sayyed Abdulmalik said during a speech he delivered on the occasion of Muslim Women’s International Day and the anniversary of the birth of Sayyida Fatima Al-Zahra.

“The other party has its own ambitions for which it is moving without giving any importance to the interest of Yemeni people and the residents of Hodeidah in particular,” he added.

From the first moment of the prisoners exchange agreement, the other party seemed not ready to submit its lists of prisoners, and so it sought to obstruct the implementation of the agreement on the date set by Sweden consultations at presence of the United Nations.

During two months of the consultations hosted by Jordan, members of the prisoners committees in the two parties did not reach a solution.

Head of the National Committee for Prisoners Affairs Abdul-Qader al-Mortada said that “the other side, represented in the coalition and its militias cares more about prisoners of its criminal and intelligence cells than prisoners of its forces and militias.”

The coalition said that Sanaa authorities want to swap their captives for civilian gunmen, which was denied by a-Mortada, asserting that “the prisoners held by the Yemeni army forces are either war prisoners from combat fronts or members of criminal cells working to destabilize security and stability in favor of the aggression inside the provinces.”
