Houthis refuse to extend the truce and no one is surprised

International efforts go to waste as attempts to extend the truce in Yemen fail. Many are terrified of waking up to the sound of bombs and war after six months of peace— except, it wasn’t complete quietness and birds chirping.

The Houthis —to nobody’s surprise— never fully committed to the terms of the truce despite international and regional efforts to make it happen. It was for most of the six past months one-sided, causing the death of 96 civilians during the “truce”. Whereas the internationally recognized government has significantly improved life for Yemenis and didn’t resort to violence in response to truce violations by the Houthis.

Hodeidah ports:

The legitimate government helped facilitate the delivery of 53 oil ships through Hodiedah ports, at the request of the UN to alleviate the humanitarian crisis.

The 203 billion riyals revenues generated from these shipments were supplied to the central bank branch in Hodeidah to pay civil service salaries in the Houthi regions.

Sanaa’s international airport:

The legitimate government opened Sanaa’s international airport which has been closed since 2016 to more than 13,000 passengers to fly directly from Sanaa to Amman and Cairo.

The legitimate government also stopped all military escalations.

Taiz siege:

The truce failed to convince the Houthis to open lift the Taiz siege, the main roads have been blocked since 2015, forcing people to use other unmaintained roads in and out of the city. Those old roads are meant for camels and aren’t suitable for travel

Civil service salaries:

The militia never paid their employees and used revenues from ports to expand military centers.
