For 4 weeks, the Yemeni army, backed by Saudi Arabia, faces the houthie rebellion ally of Iran. But Tehran denies any involvement in the conflict and denounces international interference.
"You have to have an inter-Yemeni dialogue, a dialogue between Yemenis, said the Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif micro Euronews. The others must not participate, it is neither the negotiations between the Yemeni and foreign or negotiations between foreign powers. Foreign powers should not put conditions for the future of Yemen, or engage in discussions. What they need to do is to facilitate dialogue between the various groups in Yemen and that is what we are preparing. "
These remarks came as the mediator of the UN in Yemen, Jamal Benomar, announced his resignation in a statement on its Facebook page. In office since 2012, the Moroccan diplomat has failed to find a solution to the crisis ravaging the country.
At present, no peace talks seems to be emerging. Neither Houthi nor the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, have intention to surrender. Vice president in exile Khaled Bahah reported on Thursday that his government would begin negotiations on two conditions: first, the establishment of a preliminary cease-fire; Then, the return of the exile government in Aden, the capital of Yemen.
In one month, the conflict has claimed more than 730 dead and 2000 injured, according to the UN. Among them, most of them civilians.
