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.

German diplomats' meeting with members of the Syrian interim government was a good opportunity to make contact with the country's new rulers, a German foreign ministry spokesperson said.

"This was the first good opportunity to get in touch with HTS and the de facto guardians in Damascus," the spokesperson said, referring to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist group left in charge following the ouster of president Bashar al-Assad, Reuters reported.

Tuesday's talks in Damascus focused on stabilizing Syria and looked at ways to resume Germany's diplomatic presence there, according to the spokesperson.
