Yemen will not allow rebels to go armed anymore: premier

SNAA'A, Mar. 02 (Saba) -
Yemen will not allow the Houthi rebels to go armed anymore after the ceasefire and
will work
its best to prevent the rebels from taking arms against the army again, Prime
Minister Ali Muhammad Mujawar has said.
The Saudi Al-Jazeera Newspaper quoted the premier as saying that the six terms of
the ceasefire that was brought into effect last month would completely be
implemented without
any negligence.
The ceasefire is going on despite the reluctance of the rebels, with many main
roads being reopened including those in Harf Sufyan, Almalaheedh and Saada, he
said, adding
that refugees are returning their homes safely.
The government will work to root out the rebellion through drying out its resources
and will raise awareness among those misled by the Houthi group to help them be
good
society assets.
Mujawar said that the damages due to the war in Saada and Harf Sufyan in
neighboring Amran province affected 85 per cent of people's own properties and 100
per cent of public
properties requiring much fund to restore the affected properties.
Rebuilding Saada is now a priority of the government as it plans, after the
ceasefire, to count losses in an effort to compensate the people, he said.
On the south, the premier said that separation bids that come after twenty years
from the unity is regrettable. It is impossible to separate the single body of
Yemen and
voices exaggerating about the situation are nothing, he said.
Yemen is able to defend its unity and the rights of its people, he said, pointing
out that the government is currently reconsidering investment laws to boost the
national
economy.
The ceasefire between the army and the Houthi group was brought into effect on
February 11 ending a six-year war in Saada.
The ceasefire committees are continuing eliminating landmines and reopening roads
though the rebels are not cooperative enough on the ceasefire implementation.
