 The government said in its meeting, Monday, in the capital, Aden, headed by Dr. Maeen Abdulmalik, that the continued military escalation of the terrorist Houthi militia, the latest of which was the targeting of the camps for the displaced in Marib governorate in conjunction with the visit of the UN envoy, and its repeated threats to neighboring countries, reflects its understanding of the message of peace sent by the international community.  It sees any effort for peace as nothing but an opportunity and a cover for the continuation of its battles against the Yemeni people and targeting the security and stability of neighboring countries.

 The government called on the United Nations, the Security Council and the international community to double the pressure, including the option of sanctions, to push the Houthi militias towards serious engagement with the good offices to establish peace and stability and end the human suffering of the Yemeni people.

 The government and the Presidential Leadership Council reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the peace process and their desire for a lasting and comprehensive peace based on the three references agreed upon locally and supported regionally and internationally, and its positive engagement with all initiatives that are met with rejection, intransigence and escalation by the terrorist Houthi militias, appreciating the continuous and sincere Saudi and Omani efforts as mediators.  In order to end the war and establish peace, and support and welcome the government and its blessing for all international, regional and international efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive political solution.

 The Houthi militia warned against persisting in its military aggressions and gross violations of human rights, praising the role of the armed forces and the popular resistance, and their high readiness to deter any escalation or adventures to undermine the opportunities for peace that the government and the Presidential Leadership Council deal with positively as part of their relentless efforts to alleviate the human suffering created by these militias forces.
