News - Yemen: The Supreme Political Council announced a unilateral initiative to open the Fifty-Sixty road in Taiz, in order to alleviate the suffering of the people of Taiz and other governorates. It pointed out that this step came after consulting with the National Military Committee, with great efforts to open roads in Taiz and other governorates.

The Council helds the militias in Taiz responsible for obstructing the opening of the road, and any attack on the safe travelers there. It called on the people of Taiz to defend their roads and reveal those who obstruct the opening.

In early June, the National Salvation Government announced the implementation of a unilateral initiative, to raise the earthen barriers in preparation for the opening of a road inside the city of Taiz.

Negotiations of opening roads in Jordan are without outcomes after a 2-round discussion. The National Committee says that the talks do not go beyond limited roads in Taiz.

The Saudi-backed party does not have a decision to talk about the rest of the roads and closed outlets, which is a short conception of comprehensive solutions that include closed outlets in more than one governorate, including Al-Dhalae and Marib.

President Mahdi Al-Mashat affirmed that if the military negotiating committee in Jordan does not see new signs regarding closed roads to alleviate suffering of Yemeni people, the committee will announce a unilateral initiative.

He added that the US-Saudi aggression is sparing no effort to exploit the suffering of the citizens in Taiz governorate, explaining that there is a varying agenda of the Saudi-backed government that uses the suffering and difficult conditions in Taiz and the various governorates.

The Chairman of National Military CommitteeYahya Abdullah Al-Razami has handed President Al-Mashat a detailed report on the proposals submitted by the United Nations to open roads in Taiz and the others of governorates.

Razami indicated the readiness of the National side to implement the initiative that was unilaterally presented, with the aim of progressing in the negotiations.

He called on the representatives of the United Nations to go with the Committee to Taiz Governorate and examine the reality to prove the seriousness of the National side to know the party obstructing the opening of humanitarian outlets.

He reiterated the National side's keenness to alleviate the suffering of the people of Taiz and all the people of the country, and affirm that the ball is in the court of the Saudi-backed side.
 
Razami considered that the Saudi-backed side must realize the humanitarian responsibility towards the Yemeni people, who are still suffering from an unjust and brutal siege and aggression.

He has confirmed that the Saudi-backed government is trying to make the issue of roads a subject for political and propaganda exploitation and rejects practical initiatives that would contribute to alleviating the suffering of citizens in Taiz and the others governorates.
