ADEN, June 29 (KUNA) -- The Yemeni government announced Saturday a new round of talks would be held with Houthis in Muscat Sunday over the release of detainees, abductees and forcibly disappeared persons.
In a press statement, the government negotiating team said the talks, to be held under the auspices of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, would be held on the basis of releasing all-for-all.
The team wished the success of the talks to end the suffering of all prisoners, disappeared persons and abductees and their families.
In its extraordinary meeting on Friday, the Presidential Leadership Council discussed the ongoing arrangements for holding the new round talks with Houthis in the Omani capital.
The Council reiterated its keenness to support efforts and initiatives aimed at ending the suffering of detainees, abductees, and the forcibly disappeared people and reuniting them to their families according to the principle of "all for all", foremost among them the activist Mohammed Qahtan, who is included in the resolution of the United Nations Security Council.
It also addressed the widespread campaign of abductions recently launched by the Houthi militias against dozens of employees of United Nations' agencies, international and local non-governmental organizations, in a flagrant violation of the national legislations, international laws and accords.
The Council emphasized the importance of exerting maximum pressure to compel the militias to unconditionally release all these abductees, and to accelerate the procedures for transferring the main headquarters of international agencies to the temporary capital, Aden, with the government's commitment to ensuring a safe and suitable environment for the work of these organizations and the provision of their services to all Yemenis across the country.
