Yemeni government rejects rebels truce offer
2009-09-02
[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.

#1  ION BHARAT RAKSHAK > ARMY ACTION MAY NOT STOP YEMEN REBELS. Analyst = Collapse of YEMEN State-Govt will de facto threaten SAUDI ARABIA, the only Regional force in the ME capable of countering IRAN, hence it is to Iran's advantage for Yemen to be destabilized and taken over by pro-Iran = anti-Saudi Milterrs.

* SAME > SAUDI ARABIA TO BANKROLL ANTI-IRAN SECESSIONISTS [PK Baluchistan = Jondollah/
Jundullah Group].
