Berlin (Debriefer) - Houthi politburo former chairman on Saturday called for the UN ex-envoy to be tasked with Yemen's crisis and help solve this thorny dossier.
The return of Jamal Benomar, as UN envoy for Yemen, would be widely welcomed by Yemeni parties, Saleh Habra added on Facebook.
Benomar is fully aware of the Yemeni problem's roots and the real cause behind war, in addition to his political experience that enables him to help stop the 6-year-old war, Habra thinks.
At his interview last week with Al-Jazeera, the UN former envoy sent significant messages that should be considered by all parties and the international community to find political settlement in Yemen, he argued.
"He diagnosed the problem's roots and war's real cause; i.e. conflict for influence. Thus, the only solution that could help cope with the crisis lies in an agreement between all the Yemeni parties to share power by sitting at dialogue table," the Houthi ex-official added.
Last Wednesday, Benomar appeared on Al-Jazeera to arouse debate anew among political activists, accusing Yemen's late president of facilitating the Houthi armed overthrow of Sana'a and other cities.
After the Gulf Initiative was inked, Ali Abdullah Saleh led a counterrevolution and kept control over the State's military and security bodies, although he had already handed power, the former envoy said.
He dubbed the Houthi coup in September 2014 as a "grave mistake". Still, the Saudi-led coalition's "intervention exacerbated the problem and obstructed all the efforts aimed at reviving the political process in Yemen."
The Moroccan Jamal Benomar served as the UN special envoy to Yemen from 2011 until March 2015, when Mauritanian Ismael Ould Sheikh Ahmed was appointed as a successor before the current British diplomat, Martin Griffiths.
