Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
The Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, announced its readiness to exchange 200 prisoners with the legitimate government through the United Nations before the blessed Eid al-Fitr, which is five days away.
And the militias said, on Sunday, through the head of its Prisoners Affairs Committee, Abdul Qadir Al-Murtada, that they had made a new offer to the other party - legitimacy - through the United Nations to release 200 prisoners from each side before the blessed Eid Al-Fitr.
Recently, militias' statements about the prisoner exchange have increased without implementing anything on the ground, except for what happened days before the release of 42 prisoners, all of whom were civilians whom they arrested at their checkpoints and checkpoints without any charge or justification.
Evidence confirms that the militias are not serious about releasing any captive or detainee, and that their announcements are merely an attempt to mislead public opinion about their good intentions, which is revealed by their continued violation of the armistice agreements, the latest of which was the humanitarian armistice that was announced at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, which the militias violated with their continuous attacks on Marib.
The Houthi leader in charge of the prisoners’ file, Abdul Qadir Al-Mortada, had announced in late March, a deal concluded earlier this month under the auspices of the United Nations, including 1,400 Houthi prisoners in exchange for 823 from the legitimacy and the coalition, including three Sudanese, and former Defense Minister Mahmoud Al-Subaihi.
However, political sources confirm that the militias do not interact with any of the files of the recent humanitarian truce, which includes the exchange of prisoners and the lifting of the siege on Taiz, and they intensify their efforts on the file of opening Sana’a International Airport, which obstructed the first international flights to it from Jordan, due to the militias’ intransigence and insistence on adding passengers without handing over their names as agreed.
