CAIRO (Debriefer)--A big conspiracy against Yemen is being cooked up at secret talks in some Arab capital cities, former Minister of Foreign Affairs Abu Baker Al-Qirbi said on Wednesday.
The secret negotiations in Iraq, Oman and Saudi Arabia are seeking to find approaches to serve the interests of the regional actors away from the interests of Yemen and the Yemeni people, he said in a statement on Twitter.
Such approaches could lead to handing Yemen to warmongers and leaving it as a prey for conflicts of regional powers, he said, calling on all Yemenis to put the interest of the country above all consolidations and loyalties and foreign agendas.
Yemen has been devastated by a six-year conflict between the Saudi-backed internationally recognised government and the Iran-aligned Houthi group. The conflict has caused the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
In recent months, the Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, targeting military and economic sites in the capital Riyadh and other Saudi regions.
More recently, reports said Saudi and Iranian officials met in Iraq in an effort to reduce the tensions between their countries as the US is seeking to revive the Iran nuclear deal and end the war in Yemen.
The meeting was productive and the two sides are expected to convene again next week, reports said.
Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi is sponsoring the talks, they said.
