ADEN, Aug 2 (KUNA) -- The Yemeni government welcomed Tuesday the two-month renewal of the UN-mediated truce starting from August 2 to October 2.
In a press statement, the government said that the prime objective of the truce is stopping Yemeni bloodshed over Houthi militia's triggered war, easing freedom of movement of civilians and transporting of goods and humanitarian services across Yemen like what happened in opening Sana'a Airport and allowing fuel ships to Hodeida Port.
The government called for a full implementation of the truce and stopping all Houthi militia's violations.
It stressed the need for accomplishing what has not been accomplished during the past period: ending the siege of Taiz and opening roads to Taiz city and roads to other provinces, as well as ensuring paying salaries from revenues of Hodeida Port to employees in Houthi militia held areas.
The government confirmed its full support to all UN efforts and its envoy for Yemen for realizing inclusive and permanent peace in accordance with the three agreed upon references led by Security Resolution 2216. (end)
