Riyadh — The Yemeni government of President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi announced its willingness to implement a 72-hour truce which can be extended on condition that the Houthi militias lift the siege of the city of Taiz to ensure humanitarian access to affected areas.

Meanwhile, Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obaid Bin Dhagr said that the Houthi militias and ousted president Ali Adullah Saleh are threatening security and stability in the Arab region.

He said the coup militias seek to tear the country apart and restore the long-forgotten imamate system of ruling, which was prevalent in northern Yemen before the revolution of Sept. 26, 1962.
