On March 26, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) said that they will suspend missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia and ground offensive operations in Yemen, including in the central province of Ma’rib, for three days as a part of a peace initiative.
Mahdi al-Mashat, President of the Houthi Supreme Political Council of Yemen, announced the initiative in a speech broadcast on television.
The senior Houthi official said that the initiative could become a lasting commitment if the Saudi-led coalition halted its airstrikes on Yemen and ended its siege on the country’s ports and airports.
“This is a sincere invitation and practical steps to rebuild trust and take all the sides from the arena of talks to the arena of acts,” Mashat said.
Al-Mashat also revealed that the Houthis are ready to release all prisoners of war, including the brother of Yemen’s president, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The Houthis’ initiative came following a series of airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and the western city of al-Hudaydah. The airstrikes claimed the lives of eight civilians and wounded four others.
The coalition’s deadly airstrikes were a response to the March 25 Houthi missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia which damaged several vital facilities in the Kingdom.
Earlier this month, the Gulf Cooperation Council invited the Houthis to peace talks in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The group welcomed the initiative. However, it said that the talks should be held in a neutral country. Furthermore, the group called on the Saudi-led coalition lift its siege off al-Hudaydah port and Sanaa International Airport before any talks.
The Saudi-led coalition is yet to comment on the Houthis’ peace initiative. Several airstrikes hit Sanaa after al-Mashat’s speech. This could be a sign that the coalition is not that interested in the Houthis offer.
Very strange timing.
I suspect the Billionairs who have arrived in Saudi Arabia from all over the World for the x2 day Saudi F1 event have offered some sort of cash deal to sweeten this cease fire so that nothing interupts the race or the teams (each team spend over $1Million each hour, every hour for the x2 days straight) and the race has a global following of millions of people.
The money in F1 makes the US Superbowl look like a cheap side-show in comparision.
The teams pack up and leave on Monday (day 3), so I assume the shooting can continue after then.
Amazing what a few vans full of bags of cash or gold can achieve.
This is a good sign, and a decent offer.
I say again that this is a good sign, and a decent offer. I will tell you why. It is because these are hard and capable men who are, and have been, defending their home and their people for years, and that whether anyone elected to help them or not. These men have shown that they do not give, and they just gave you something. Be reasonable. Talk to them and hear them.
