Saada people fights Houthi rebels
SANA'A, Sep. 03 (Saba) - Saada people has formed
on Thursday popular resistance committees in a number of villages and districts to
defeat
the al-Houthi loyalists of outlaws and saboteurs.
Local sources in Saada governorate said that Al-Houthi rebels have hindered
developments and reconstruction efforts in the province and destroyed the
infrastructure in the
governorate as well as committing several crimes against the innocent citizens in
Saada.
On the ground, one of al-Houthi rebellion leaders and two other rebels have
surrendered themselves in al-Abdein area, southern city of Saada, north of Yemen,
after they
were besieged by citizens and soldiers deployed in the area.
An official source in Saada province has confirmed that the rebel Ghaleb Qaid along
with two other rebels were trying to sneak to al-Abdein area with a quantity of
munitions
which they were determined to pass them to the rebel elements.
Meanwhile, the official affirmed the armed and security forces' progress in the
different battlefronts and fighting units by straitening the rebels in several
areas.
The coming days would witness new victories against the rebels because of the
cooperation of the honest people of Saada in the different areas, the source
pointed out.
On the other hand, the United Nations (UN) has suggested to the Yemeni government a
ceasing fire for several hours a day in the northern governorate of Saada in an
attempt
to enable relief organizations to provide the war-affected people with aid.
The UNDP representative in the country Pratibha Mehta has called the two parts to
work to provide safe routes to allow in relief materials for thousands of people.
Al-Houthi rebels have been launching intermittent wars against the troops since 2004.
The wars have killed thousands of people, soldiers and insurgents in Saada
province, which located close to borders with Saudi Arabia, after the rebel group
was founded
by rebellion's leader Hussein al-Houthi.
Hussein, the eldest brother of the current group leader Abdul-Malik, was killed by
the army in September 2004.
The Yemeni government accuses the Houthi group of trying to reinstall the rule of
imams, which was toppled by a republican revolution in northern Yemen in 1962.
