Al-Houthi responds to proposal of conducting domestic flights from Sanaa Airport

SANAA, Dec. 10 (YPA) – The head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee, Mohammed al-Houthi, has said that the Yemeni people are looking for peace, but are not seeking to disrupt their own rights in Sweden’s consultations. Rather, the Swedish negotiations should grant the Yemeni people their rights, which have been attacked by the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and its allies without any legal justification, according to al-Houthi.

Responding to the offers of a possible resuming of Yemen’s internal flights, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi indicated that the United Nations is not concerned about violating international and humanitarian law, which criminalizes the ban on air traffic.

He said the terms of reference of the Security Council resolutions are incompatible with the civil aviation embargo that the Saudi-led coalition and its allies have imposed on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

The offer to open Sanaa Airport partially clearly show a prior intention by the Saudis of causing the suffering of the Yemeni citizens, the head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee said in a series of tweets on Monday.

The proposed measures by the Saudis would only serve to further increase funding for corruption of mercenaries, as well as additional burdens in purchasing private companies’ tickets, wasting time and effort for Yemenis, especially wounded and sick patients, he said.

Al-Houthi added that the alleged “security risk” justifications that the Saudi-led invaders used as a reason to block aviation traffic are not convincing, as the airports that the Yemeni traveler will travel through are international airports and have security procedures for inspection and surveillance.

What was being put forward is a confiscation of the right of Yemenis to traveler, al-Houthi concluded.

In the occasion of World Human Rights Day, Mohammed al-Houthi demanded a halt to the continual air embargo, which is being imposed by the US-backed Saudi-led  coalition forces as a weapon against the Yemeni nation
