SANAA (Debriefer)--The Ansar Allah group, known as the Houthis, has demanded that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates attend the new round of talks on prisoners.
The group said on Friday it had received an official invitation from the UN to a new round of talks on prisoners in Jordan.
The talks will begin on 19 November in Amman and we have confirmed our readiness to participate in them, the chairman of the group's committee for prisoners affairs Abdulqadir Al-Murtada said.
It is necessary that Saudi Arabia attends the talks on prisoners because it is leading the aggression on Yemen and a number of its soldiers are being held captive, he said in a statement carried by the Almasirah TV on Saturday.
The UAE should attend such talks as well because it has forces in Yemen and is backing some factions, he said, hoping the UN will help meet the demand.
We are ready to implement the second part of the Amman agreement on prisoners which provides for swapping 200 government and Houthi prisoners, including the brother of president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, Nasser Hadi, he added.
Last month, the two sides released 1.056 prisoners and detainees in accordance with a UN-backed deal reached at talks in Switzerland, in the largest swap since the war escalated in 2015.
