Committee says rebels breaching ceasefire mechanism and timetable

SANA'A, Feb. 23
(Saba) - The Supreme Security Committee has accused the Houthi rebels of breaching
the ceasefire
conditions through not sticking their implementation mechanism and timetable. The
Houthi rebels are continuing to breach the ceasefire, postponing reopening roads and
eliminating
landmines, a source at the committee said on Monday. We regret that the rebels have
not yet demonstrated full commitment to the ceasefire including the mechanism and
timetable
to implement the terms, the source said. All that the rebels have done was reopening
some roads and eliminating landmines partly in some areas and they refused to hand
the
landmines to the committees supervising the implementation of the ceasefire. Also,
they are postponing the implementation of to the ceasefire as whole including the
handover
of the remaining Saudi soldiers and Yemeni military and citizen captives as well as
Yemeni and Saudi equipment, the source said. What the Houthi militants are doing
make
remind us of their postponement, games and irresponsible acts during previous
ceasefires, the sources said, adding that such moves by them may lead to dangerous
consequences
as it has. On February, President Ali Abdullah Saleh decided to stop the military
operations against the rebels in Saada after they accepted the ceasefire conditions.
The
rebels have fought the army since 2004, seeking to reinstall imamate rule. They also
received support from Iranian religious bodies. FR
