Yemen’s chief executive body offers amnesty for Hadi supporters

The head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council says Ansarullah troops will halt retaliatory attacks if Saudi Arabia stops its relentless airstrikes.

"(In exchange for) stopping the aggression against our country by land, sea and air, stopping the airstrikes and lifting the siege imposed on our country, in return (we will) stop combat operations on the border," said Saleh al-Samad during a speech on Sunday.

He also noted that amnesty would be granted for the armed supporters of former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi.

"(We call) all fighters on the side of the aggression on the various fronts to respond to a general amnesty and come back into the national fold," he added.

Last month, the council was formed from a coalition between the Ansarullah movement and former President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s General People’s Congress party.
