Yemen, Houthis Group Sign Peace Agreement

- Gamal Ragay

Qatar (Doha) – Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor al-Thani witnessed this evening the signing of the explanatory appendix of the executive program schedule for the implementation of the 22 points which were signed between the Yemeni government and the Houthis Group, State-run Qatari News Agency reported.

Global Arab Network informed that the program and the explanatory appendix were signed for the Yemeni government by Brig. Ali bin Ali al Gaisi, member of the Shura Council and Chairman of the National Committee, while they were signed for the Houthis Group by Yousuf Abdullah Hussein al Feishi .

They were also signed by Assistant Foreign Minister Saif bin Muqqadam Al Buainain of the State of Qatar as a Mediator.

In July, the two countries agreed to activate the agreement after confrontations erupted in Saada and Harf Sufyan threatening a ceasefire reached by the government and the group this year. The ceasefire ended a six-year war between the two sides in Saada and Harf Sufyan district in Amran.

In late last month, Yemeni President Saleh said Yemen was looking forward to Qatari communication with the group to convince it to honour the 2007 agreement, assuring the country will not fall in a seventh war.
