“We are leaving today after having completed our part in the talks,” asserted Mohammed al-Emrani, spokesperson, Yemen Government. Foreign Minister Abdel-Malekal-Mekhlafi echoed the same and said that the peace process will not be abandoned by the state but could return if only ‘the Houthis and a powerful local ally lifted their objections to the UN plan.’
“We've agreed to the initiative ... we are now leaving the territory of the brotherly state of Kuwait but we're not leaving the talks,” the FM added. “We'll return at any moment, even an hour after our departure, if the other side agrees to sign this document which the (U.N.) envoy presented,” he continued when asked about plans followed by the exit from peace talks.
In another development, al-Emrani has noted that the delegators are returning to the Yemeni capital while informing the UN special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed that the country will sign the peace agreement, primarily rejected by the Houthi supporters.
