UN EnvoyAnsarullah movement and the popular conference informed the UN envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed about the fact that the Saudi-led forces have not got committed to the ceasefire.

In a letter, Ansarullah said that the Saudi-led aggression has not stopped using all the kinds of weapons to commit crimes against the Yemenis in different areas.

The letter added that such violations do not help the parties find the suitable circumstances to run the dialogue needed to restore peace to Yemen, noting that the UN must be responsible regarding all the parties who impede concluding a national agreement in the country.

On April 7, Ansarullah movement announced a ceasefire in several border regions with Saudi Arabia.

The move coincided with a call by the UN special envoy to Yemen for a total ceasefire across the county to allow for humanitarian relief and is aimed at setting the stage for upcoming political talks among Yemeni groups.

The truce was announced by the UN special envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed as a step to calm the situation ahead of negotiations between the warring sides scheduled to be held in Kuwait on April 18.

Saudi Arabia has been waging a war on Yemen since late March 2015 in a bid to reinstate Hadi and undermine the Ansarullah movement, which took over state matters after Hadi resigned.

Over 9,400 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the Saudis' deadly military campaign.
