The commission, which has been monitoring the two-week-old ceasefire,
said the Believing Youth has failed to honor the six conditions set by the
regime of President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The panel said the Shi'ite rebels
have refused to withdraw from their positions, and instead were plundering
homes in the northern province of Saada.
"They have refused to transfer weapons as well as military equipment or
free those kidnapped from Saudi Arabia and Yemen," the commission said.
Yemen and the Believing Youth have agreed to the establishment of four
panels to implement the ceasefire. The committees were said to be working
in Saada, Harf Sufian, Malahaid and the Yemeni-Saudi border.
"The mediation committees are now waiting for the local authority
officials to take over the districts, which were under the rebellion, and
then can understand the credibility of Al Houthi," Mohammed Al Hawri, a
chairman of one of the panels, said.
