Yemen’s Houthi leader , Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has confirmed that the Ansarullah movement will participate at UN peace talks in Switzerland next week.
Al-Houthi said his faction has presented to the United Nations the list of its representatives to the forthcoming talks.
"We handed over the names of our negotiating delegation to the UN," al-Houthi said in a statement posted on Ansarullah’s Facebook page.
The statement said a draft agenda for the talks, due in Switzerland next week, had been agreed with the UN, calling for a "serious and responsible dialogue."
Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam also said the movement had reached an agreement with the UN over securing a ceasefire in Yemen, the complete removal of the naval blockade against the crisis-hit Arab country, and the resumption of political dialogue among all factions involved in the Yemeni crisis.
Yemen has been under military attacks by Saudi Arabia since late March. The Saudi military strikes were launched to supposedly undermine the Ansarullah movement and bring fugitive former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi back to power.
More than 7,500 people have been killed and over 14,000 others injured since March. The strikes have also taken a heavy toll on the impoverished country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools and factories.
There have been increased warnings that the aggression could strengthen the grip of terror groups across Yemen. Ansarullah revolutionaries have been involved in battles with such groups.
