Al-Houthi comments on UN envoy’s briefing to Security Council

SANAA, Feb. 19 (YPA) – Top member in the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi commented on the UN envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths’ briefing to the UN Security Council, in which he called for a halt to fighting in the northeastern province of Marib.

“Griffiths classifies the battle as an offensive on Marib despite that it has never stopped since the failure of  the aggression countries and their mercenaries offensive on the Nihem district (east of Sana’a) until today, Mohammed al-Houthi wrote on his Twitter account.

“The UN envoy knows since the beginning that that the aggression countries rejected the nine points initiative regarding Marib and determined to go ahead with what it called the liberation of the capital Sanaa, he said.

He added that “Griffiths also knows that the aggression countries did not accept the cessation of airstrikes and end the siege  in return of halting bombardment.
