Sana'a (Debriefer) - Head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council late on Sunday called on the Saudi-led coalition to respond to peace calls and repeated initiatives the group issued, urgently release oil tankers, lift blockade, reopen Sana'a airport and engage in negotiations to end war and military presence.
The other Yemeni parties, "who took the aggression path, should recover their senses, and their positions can be settled through a national conciliation conference," Mahdi al-Mashat added in a televised speech on the sixth anniversary of 21-September "revolution day".
He called on the international community to "respect the Yemeni people and stop recognizing the legitimacy of corrupts, Qaeda and Daesh, since these groups represent neither Yemen nor the people's interests."
He also called the UN to "stop double-standard treatment and deplore the blockade, starvation and prevention from fuel and food suffered by the Yemeni people."
The Houthi official accused the Arab coalition of supporting, recruiting and settling Qaeda and Daesh militants in Baydha and Marib.
Six years ago, the Iranian-backed Houthi group seized the Yemeni capital Sana'a and other northern areas on 21 September, which was later celebrated by the group as a national day.
"The 21st of September sent a message to the whole world that war with Yemen is not a picnic, and that its anniversary comes this year crowned with great wins in every field," he said.
For the Yemeni official government, the day represents the "Houthi coup" against its legitimacy.
On 26 March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition intervened militarily in the country to reinstate President Hadi and his UN-recognized government.
Yemen 6-year war has left hundreds of thousands of people killed or injured and 3 million others displaced, triggering what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
