Al-Houthi Movement Urges Formation of Transitional Gov't in Yemen
TEHRAN (FNA)- A spokesman for Yemen's al-Houthi movement deplored the US and Saudi Arabia's interference in his country's internal affairs, and termed formation of a transitional government the only way to settle the crisis in Yemen.
"The only way for Sana'a to end the status quo is the formation of a transitional government," Yahya al-Houthi told FNA on Sunday.
"The Yemeni revolutionaries demand the formation of a transitional government or council but there are obstacles in this regard," he added, and described the illegal measures taken by the Yemeni militaries and the foreign pressures exerted by the US and Saudi Arabia on his country as among the main hurdles to the election and establishment of a transitional government in Yemen.
Al-Houthi reiterated that the US fears that Islamists might come to take and control power in Yemen, and said Washington is concerned about even the smallest change in the country "and wants the transition of power to happen under its guidance and in an atmosphere fully clear and transparent to the US".
Meantime, he underlined the necessity for the Yemeni revolutionaries to continue their resistance until the formation of a transitional government, reiterating that it is the only way for Sana'a to go out of the current impasse.
His remarks came after protesters in Yemen celebrated the fall of the Yemeni dictatorial regime after President Ali Abdullah Saleh escaped to Saudi Arabia.
Saleh, who was wounded in an attack on his compound, flew last Saturday to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment and Vice President Abduraboo Mansur Hadi has taken over Saleh's duties.
The Saudi royal court said last Sunday that Saleh arrived in Saudi Arabia along with other top Yemeni officials to be treated for wounds they suffered in Friday's rocket attack on the presidential palace.
Hundreds of thousands of people have turned out for near daily demonstrations in Yemen's major cities since late January, demanding the ouster of Saleh, who has been in office since 1978.
