UPDATE: Yemenis urged to cut ties with Houthis amid military moves in Sanaa

CAIRO – 4 December 2017: The Yemeni President announced launching a military campaign to uproot the Houthi militias from the Capital Sanaa, said the Yemeni Premier according to al-Arabiya channel.

Yemeni Prime Minister, Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr, revealed that President Abd-Rabbu Mansur Hadi is expected to grant presidential pardons to whoever stops collaboration with the Houthis militias, according to AFP on Monday.

“The Yemeni legitimacy lies in fighting against the Iranian-backed Houthis militias,” Bin Daghr added.

Yemeni sources told Sky News Arabia channel that the Houthis militias had moved its political council’s documents and money trucks from Sanaa to Saada governorate, northern Yemen.

“The Houthis withdrew 23 military trucks from Al-Bayda governorate to increase its militia’s forces in Sanaa where the clashes have fiercely erupted two days ago against forces supported by former President Ali Abdullah Saleh,” added the forces to Sky News.

Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh announced on Sunday the dissolution of his partnership with the Houthi rebels amid heavy military clashes between his supporters and Iran-aligned Houthis in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

The death toll from clashes erupted in Yemen between Houthi militias and the General People's Congress (GPC) forces, loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, rose to 200 on Sunday.
