SANAA, Sept 28 (NNN-SABA) – Yemen’s top Houthi leader, on Friday, dismissed reports of reaching a limited cease-fire deal with Saudi Arabia, as “fake news.”
“Reports by some U.S. media outlets about reaching a partial deal with Saudi Arabia, to cease fire on four areas in Yemen are rumours,” said Mohamed Ali al-Houthi, the second-in-command of the Houthis.
“Yemen would never accept nothing short of an all-out stop to aggression (war), and the lifting of economic blockade,” al-Houthi said, in a brief statement.
The Houthis last week, offered a peace initiative to Saudi Arabia, proposing a “comprehensive halt of war,” and said, they unilaterally halted cross-border attacks on the kingdom, as a gesture of “good will” to end the war.
They offered the initiative, just days after they claimed devastating missile attacks on Saudi-owned largest oil producer, Aramco, that knocked out half of Saudi oil output.– NNN-SABA
