The head of the Supreme Revolutionary Committee, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, has sent fiery messages questioning the US and British intentions in the coming days.

“After the US secretary of State announced the cessation of military operations in Hodeidah on Wednesday; we are watching closely the situation in there”, al-Houthi said.“We hope that this announcement will not be merely a political or media manoeuvre, followed by a military escalation, after UN Envoy for Yemen Griffith’s visit to Sanaa,” he added.

He commented on the upcoming negotiations, saying that “we are in favor of returning to the negotiation table, forming a national reconciliation committee, and holding fair presidential and parliamentary elections representing all Yemeni forces.”

Mohammed al-Houthi furthermore emphasized the need of “offering international guarantees to start the reconstruction process in Yemen, preventing any aggression from foreign countries against Yemen, announcing a general amnesty, the release of all detainees and the need for putting any dispute on any aspect up for voting in a referendum.”
