Yemen's presidential council chief says no plans for truce with Houthis The chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council indicated the government does not want a deal with the Houthis. "We are not for a new truce that reproduces previous experiences," Rashad al-Alimi said, and instead called for "lasting and sustainable peace" based on a state that holds a monopoly on weapons and sovereignty. He added that the internationally recognised government has concluded that the Houthis amount to "a project of war and destruction, not a project of peace".
