Deputy chief of Gen. Staff urges head of the United Nations Mission to activate the Stockholm Agreement

Deputy Chief of the General Staff also head of the national redeployment team Maj. Gen. Ali Al-Mawshaki has met with head of the United Nations Mission to Support Hodeida Agreement(UNMHA) Gen. Abhijit Guha.

Al-Mawshaki and Guha discussed in Sana’a issues related to the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement in light of the other side’s evasion of its obligations under the agreement.

The meeting dealt with the files of supporting the Mine Center, and the transfer of the inspection team “UNFIM” from Djibouti to the ports of Hodeida, stopping the piracy of the aggression countries on oil derivatives ships, and working to rehabilitate the ports and their readiness.

The meeting touched on the medical evacuation mechanism for the UN mission’s members, as the national side promised to provide all the necessary facilities in this aspect.

In the meeting, the head of the UN mission called to return to work on the essence of the Stockholm Agreement and to oblige the other party to return to work with the joint mechanisms of the Redeployment Coordination Committee, open humanitarian corridors and re-activate the control points as previously agreed upon.

Al-Mawshaki pointed out that the aggression and mercenaries have so far refused to redeploy despite the implementation of many of its obligations by the national team.

He continued to commit daily violations, including the bombing of neighborhoods and residential areas, the establishment of fortifications and digging of combat trenches, and recently the recruitment of foreign takfiris in the West Coast, which may affect the security and stability of international navigation, as well as the recruitment of large numbers of foreign fighters.

He stressed that the pretexts offered by the other party to evade the implementation of the agreement and the mission’s silence about it, make the situation in Hodeida murky and intractable, and impede the national party from showing more cooperation despite its keenness to spare Yemeni blood from any party.

For his part, the head of the United Nations mission expressed his thanks for the cooperation of the national team and its commitment to the concluded understandings.

He stressed the mission’s endeavor, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program, to provide the necessary support to the executive center for dealing with mines and rehabilitating the ports of Hodeida, as stipulated in the Sweden agreement.

Guha explained that the mission is currently working on bringing the other party back to work with the joint mechanisms of the Redeployment Coordination Committee to move forward with implementing the full terms of the Sweden agreement on the ground.
