(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement has accused the US, which has recently put forward a peace plan for the war-torn country, of leading the ongoing aggression against Yemen along with Saudi Arabia.
Speaking late on Friday, Ansarullah spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam highlighted the negative role of Washington in the war on Yemen, saying the US is among the states that are involved in the aggression against the impoverished country rather than a mediator between the Yemeni forces and the Riyadh regime.
He further pointed to Washington-Riyadh relations and warned that the US is blackmailing Saudi Arabia and this practice will intensify in the future.
The war on Yemen is a US-Saudi one, with Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi having no role in the offensive, Abdulsalam said, stressing that history will prove this assertion.
The aggression was started in a bid to overcome the will of the Yemeni people, he added.
Earlier this month, US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a regional visit that he had presented Houthi delegates with a document outlining a ceasefire and peace deal.
The Houthis agreed to observe the truce provided that the other side implemented it, Abdulsalam said. Riyadh also announced a 48-hour ceasefire in Yemen, but did not halt their airstrikes.
The Ansarullah spokesman said Saudi Arabia is opposed to the peace plan, but Ansarullah is committed to the deal so long as the opposite side honors it.
Abdulsalam said the agreement will be presented to Hadi for signing.
