President Ali Abdullah Saleh sent a letter including six terms for resolving the situation in Harf Sufyan district, Amran, after clashes erupted between Houthi followers and tribesmen and soldiers, Al-Wasat newspaper said on Wednesday.
The terms included: eliminating positions, reopening roads, ordering the troops who were stationing at Al-Zala'a site to return to their camps, handing over all seized properties, committing the Houthi Group not to attack the homes and properties of Bin Aziz tribe and Qura Al-Mrash in Jawf Province and reconciling the people of Magz and Dhahyan.
They also included a call for resuming dialogue and implementing the rest terms of the February ceasefire that ended a six-year war between the army and the group in the far north. The letter warned the Houthis of ' procrastination' and held them responsible for the situation.
It was received by sheikh Ali Al-Qaisi, the supervisor on the implementation of the ceasefire terms in the district and came in reply to a letter from Al-Qaisi who briefed Saleh on the situation and possible consequences if a seventh war erupts in the region.
Al-Qaisi confirmed the letter was received and handed over to the group which pledged to reply today.
He commented on the last confrontations in Harf Sufyan, saying they came within vengeance between Houthis and tribesmen and postwar effects. Regarding the failure of mediation to contain the situation, he said there was an agreement between the Houthi Group and the Bin Aziz tribe, though they are trading accusations over responsibility for the development.
In recent weeks, clashes erupted between the tribe and the group and reports surfaced a seventh war was likely to erupt as the commissions overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire, reached on February 11, continued to report breaches and attacks by the group.
Dozens were killed and injured in the clashes and the group took over the site where the fighting took place.
