Yemen’s stakeholders have told the UN peace mediator to Yemen the Houthi theocratic insurgents don’t believe in peace.

Representatives of the different political parties, CSOs, women, and youth groups told Martin Griffiths who visited the government stronghold of Marib on Saturday the Iran-backed insurgents had “proven to the world that they don’t believe in peace” and had a history of “disregarding every peace deal.”

The activists said the militia exploit the government’s ceasefires to replenish their fighters with new “recruits to start new rounds of conflict and perpetuate the horrendous abuses against the opposition Yemenis.
