[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] A 48-hour ceasefire announced by a Saudi-led coalition battling Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... began on Saturday. The ceasefire has been decided to begin a 48-hour from 12:00 noon Yemen time (0900 GMT), according to the Saudi coalition’s statement. "The truce could also be extended if the Yemeni army and Ansarullah hold fire and allow aid deliveries to besieged cities." The Yemeni army front man General Sharaf Luqman reaffirmed on Saturday the commitment to the ceasefire in line of Oman’s principle agreement, providing the other side should obey by the agreed truce. "According to the principle agreement struck in the Omani Capital, we affirm our commitment to cease fire if the other side obeyed by the truce and halt all military actions," the front man told Saba. Despite the ceasefire, US-Saudi aggression warplanes launched two raids on Khab and Alshaf district of al-Jawf province, an Official told Saba on Saturday. The Saudi-led mercenaries, backed by air raids, also attempted to advance towards Mede desert. For his part, UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Sheikh Ahmad called on all the parties to get committed to the truce. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-20 |
