Houthi rebels will not participate in the ultimate peace dialogue if it happens in Riyadh because they consider Saudi Arabia to be an “enemy” in the Yemeni civil war, Houthi leader told AFP on Thursday.
“We will accept an invitation to a dialogue that does not happen in the enemy country,” said the Houthi authorities, anonymously, assured that the rebels “will always reach peace.”
A head of the Gulf Cooperation Committee (GCC) told AFP on Tuesday that the Gulf Cooperation Committee (GCC) intends to organize a dialogue in Riyadh, which is based between the Yemeni government and Houthi rebels, to end the conflict that Yemen has been experiencing for seven years.
Yemen, the poorest country on the Arabian Peninsula, has been experiencing a devastating war since 2014 between Iran-backed Houty and a government supported by the United Nations, led by Saudi Arabia, where the United Arab Emirates is a key player.
In recent years, diplomatic efforts made to bring the parties closer together under the guidance of the United Nations have not reached a peace agreement.
According to the United Nations, the war killed about 380 thousand people and caused one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
A donor meeting organized on Wednesday by the United Nations raised $4.3 billion out of $1.3 billion needed to resolve the situation in a country on the verge of a massive famine.
