Houthis’ eight conditions to end the war in Yemen

Hamas denied that Khalid Mishaal is medi­at­ing between Yemen and Iran on the Sadaa war, and total dis­ap­point­ment in Yemen gov­ern­ment after the U.S. denied the exis­tence of any con­nec­tions between the Houthis and Iran (which means no U.S. anti-terror aid to Yemen), warns against attempts to por­tray the sit­u­a­tion as a sec­tar­ian con­flict, which is sim­i­lar to Iran’s for­eign min­is­ter Mottaki’s call to end the war with “peace­ful approach”.

There are few calls from Arab writ­ers ask to end the war peace­fully, such as this arti­cle:

Thirty thou­sand Houthi fight­ers fac­ing two armies, seven hun­dred thou­sand from the Yemeni side, and about three hun­dred thou­sand from the Saudi Ara­bian side, proves with­out doubt that the mil­i­tary oper­a­tions can not end this war.

Accord­ing to pro-government Yemeni web­site Nabanews, Houthis are prepar­ing an end-of-war announce­ment with eight conditions:

- The release of the detainees, and reveal the fate of the miss­ing persons.

- Com­pen­sa­tion and reconstruction.

- The return of the deported teach­ers and civil workers.

- Non-militarization of the civil soci­ety or estab­lish­ing mil­i­tary bases in vil­lages and farms.

- End of the secu­rity, polit­i­cal, mil­i­tary and ide­ol­ogy targeting.

- The accep­tance of the north­ern provinces res­i­dents with­out any racial or sec­tar­ian discrimination.

- A real infra­struc­ture devel­op­ment of basic ser­vices with­out any dis­crim­i­na­tion just like any other region in the Repub­lic of Yemen.

- No objec­tion to our peace­ful cul­tural freedoms.
