Chairman of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi asserted the Yemenis' keenness to continue fighting what he described the "Houthi nightmare", calling on the international community to exert more efforts to re-establish security, stability and bring the Houthi militias to the negotiations' table.

He made his remarks on the sideline of Munich 59th Security Conference in Germany.

Al-Alimi affirmed that the Yemeni people will never "give up or surrender" in their struggle for overcoming the nightmare of the terrorist Houthi militias and their Iranian-sponsored spoiler scheme, stressing that all Yemenis will keep on fighting for a comprehensive and just peace, based on the agreed on terms of peace reference, specially the UNSCR 2216.

He further called on the international community to provide the Presidential Leadership Council and the government with more support including moving from humanitarian and relief interventions to the economic and sustainable developmental plans, funneling financial pledges of the relief organizations and UN's agencies through Yemen's Central Bank in Aden.

Al-Alimi stressed that the Houthi militias do not represent a peace project in Yemen, considering their history since the militias carried out their Iranian Revolutionary Guard-backed coup against the national consensus in September 2014.

The Syrian Civil Defense group, known as the White Helmets, uncovered at least 21 corpses as well as incomplete human remains on Wednesday in the Sayyida Zeinab suburb of the capital Damascus.

The discovery was made at a site previously used by Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iran-backed Iraqi militias, both allies of deposed President Bashar al-Assad during the country’s civil war.

The site included a field kitchen, a drugstore and a morgue, according to Ammar al-Salmo, an official with the White Helmets, a volunteer organization that operated in areas that were controlled by the opposition.

Rescue teams in white hazmat suits searched the site, located not far from the revered shrine of Sayyida Zeinab. The remains were placed into black bags and loaded onto a truck as bystanders from the neighborhood looked on.

“Some (of the remains) are skeletons, others are incomplete, and there are bags of small bones. We cannot yet determine the number of victims,” al-Salmo said.

“Damascus has become a mass grave,” he said, pointing out the growing reports of war-related graves and burial sites in the capital and other places in Syria.

Iran and Hezbollah provided Assad’s government with military, financial and logistical support during the civil war.
