Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries Wednesday warned former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, that he would "bear the consequences" after calling the movement "militias".
In a statement released early Wednesday, the revolutionary movement hit back at Saleh, calling the ex-president a "traitor" after he dismissed the group as a "militia" in a speech on Sunday.
"We have been stabbed in the back and called a militia, which is treason in its purest form," read the statement.
"What he (Saleh) said crosses the red line... and he will have to bear the consequences of his words."
Saleh, who has been an ally of Ansarullah revolutionary movement, dismissed on Sunday the popular committees as ‘militias’ in a clear shift in his stance.
Yemen's war, which pits the Saudi-backed regime against the Saleh-Huthi alliance, has claimed thousands of lives since 2015 and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
