The Yemeni Houthi group on Wednesday expressed doubts about the United States’ position on the ongoing war in the country for seven years, saying it had not seen any real progress in ending the war.
This came in an interview by Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV with the group’s official spokesperson, Muhammad Abdul Salam, which was followed by a correspondent for Anadolu Agency.
Abd al-Salam said: “The American position has not gone beyond the limits of words … So far, we have not noticed any real progress and we cannot be fooled by words that have no truth.”
On February 4, United States President Joe Biden announced that he had decided to stop his country’s support for military operations in Yemen, including related arms sales.
Biden also announced the appointment of Tim Linder King, an American envoy to Yemen, in a step that is the first of its kind, emphasizing the need to end the war there.
Abdel Salam added: “The military option was imposed on us, and we have always demanded peaceful options, and we were surprised by Washington’s declaration of this war,” without further details.
A comment from the United States on what the Houthi spokesman said was not possible until 3:19 p.m.
The Houthis have controlled the Yemeni capital Sanaa and much of the country since March 2015.
Yemen has witnessed a war for years between government forces backed by an Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthi group, which has killed 233,000 people, and 80 percent of the population (30 million) is he has become dependent on aid to stay alive, according to United Nations estimates.
