Yemeni government rejects rebels truce offer
[Al Arabiya Latest] The Yemeni government rejected a truce offer by Shiite rebels in the north of the Arabian Peninsula country late on Monday, after accusing Iranian media of stoking the conflict."We announce an initiative to stop the war so that roads are opened, the presence of armed mobilization ends and the situation returns to how it was before," a statement issued by rebel leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi's media office said. The government rejected the offer, which follows a government ceasefire offered last month for ending the conflict that has displaced more than 100,000 villagers. Posted by: Fred 2009-09-02 |
