JEDDAH: Yemen President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has said that his legitimate government is ready for a peaceful solution to the crisis, even as shells fired by Houthi rebels fell in western Saudi Arabia a day earlier.
His remarks came as he received Ismail Ould Cheikh, the envoy of the UN secretary-general.
Hadi also stressed that durable peace is the only way to protect Yemen from the ordeal of any future conflicts. “Everyone should work to achieve security and stability,” SPA quoted the president as saying on Saturday.
He pointed out that the legitimate government is responsible for all the Yemeni people and all the doors are open to reach a comprehensive and lasting peace in accordance with the Gulf initiative in line with UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216.
The shells hit Al-Rouha and Al-Rokouba neighborhoods of Samtah town in Jazan province, including a mosque during the Friday prayers, local media reported.
“The mosque and houses close to it were damaged due to the shelling, but there were no casualties,” the report said.
The shelling from the Yemen side is a violation of an agreement last week between the Kingdom and Houthis to maintain calm at the borders and enable prisoner swap.
In a statement carried by the official state news agency of Yemen, Abdullah Al-Alaemi, deputy director of the office of the Yemeni presidency and chairman of the governmental advisory group, said the legitimate government is looking forward to finding a political solution in Yemen, based on the UN Security Council resolution.
He said the delay in holding a new round of consultations is due to a lack of readiness of the other party (Houthis).
“People are waiting impatiently for the coup militiamen to stop shedding the blood of Yemenis and causing severe damage to the infrastructure of the country,” said Al-Alaemi.
An official government source stressed that the Arab coalition came to Yemen to put an end to the subversive operations by Houthi rebels.
