The Prime Minister of the fugitive Yemeni regime, Ahmed bin Dagher ,Wednesday rejected a unity government proposed by the Houthi Ansarullah movement.
At a cabinet meeting in the Saudi capital, Dagher insisted that the movement surrender their weapons and withdraw from seized territory in line with a UN Security Council resolution adopted in April last year.
The Houthi Ansarullah revolutionaries and their allies took control of the capital Sana’a in September 2014 and went on to seize control of several regions, forcing resigned President Abed-Rabbo Mansour Hadi to flee to Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh formed a regional coalition that began air strikes against the revolutionaries in March last year and later sent in ground forces to support Hadi’s regime.
The meeting was held inside a Saudi government hall where Dagher read from a statement, with cabinet ministers seated at a long table in front of him.
At U.N.-brokered peace talks which began on April 21 in Kuwait, the Ansarullah movement made a transitional government of consensus a precondition for applying Security Council Resolution 2216.
But the prime minister attacked "those who want a national unity government before handing over the weapons" which constitutionally belong in state hands.
