Pak Sahafat – Mohammed Abdul Salam, spokesman for the Ansarullah movement and head of the Yemeni National Salvation Government’s negotiating team, stressed that a positive interaction with the new initiative proposed by the chairman of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council is the key to peace.
According to Pak Sahafat News agency, quoting Al-Akhbar newspaper, “Mohammad Abdul Salam, the spokesman of the Ansarullah movement and the head of the negotiating team of the Yemeni National Salvation Government, stated: “A positive response to the initiative put forward by Mehdi al-Mashat, chairman of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council, and a positive response to the ceasefire and the lifting of the siege and the expulsion of foreign forces from Yemen is a key window into peace.”
He added: Political solutions will be discussed in a calm atmosphere, away from any military or humanitarian pressure.
The head of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council, Mehdi al-Mashat, announced a new initiative on Saturday to halt escalating military tensions, unilaterally suspending missile and drone strikes, and all ground, naval and air military operations on Saudi soil for three days, and announced readiness. The Ansarullah movement expressed its desire to turn the initiative – which includes the Marib Front – into a “final, firm and permanent commitment if Saudi Arabia commits to ending the siege of Yemen and ending its permanent, permanent air strikes on the country.”
In this context, the head of the captives committee of the Yemeni National Salvation Government announced on Sunday night that an agreement had been reached with Saudi Arabia to exchange 2,223 prisoners.

Ansarullah spokesman: Saudi Arabia to prove its seriousness for peace
“Abdul Qadir al-Murtada” said: The agreement includes the release of 1,400 prisoners of war from the army and popular committees against 823 prisoners, including 16 Saudis.
On April 26, 2015, Saudi Arabia, in the form of a coalition of several Arab countries and with the help and green light of the United States, launched large-scale attacks against Yemen, the poorest Arab country, under the pretext of returning the ousted and fugitive President Abd al-Mansour Hadi to Power to achieve its political goals and ambitions.
UN agencies, including World Health Organization and UNICEF, have repeatedly warned that Yemen’s people continue to face famine and a humanitarian catastrophe that is unprecedented in the last century.
Despite the fact that seven years have passed since the beginning of this comprehensive aggression, the Yemeni army and popular committees, while defending their nation, have been able to inflict heavy blows on the aggressor coalition and its allies, targeting Saudi and Emirati aggressors deep inside the two countries.
