Speaking at a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates Nasser Bourita, following the 6th session of the Moroccan-Yemeni Joint Commission, Al-Zindani stressed that progress depends on the Houthi militias fulfilling their commitments to the mediators.

Adopted two years ago, the roadmap set the stage for resolving economic and humanitarian issues before advancing toward a political solution. However, Al-Zindani lamented that the Houthis have escalated their attacks, particularly endangering maritime navigation in the Red Sea, leading to a freeze in the roadmap’s implementation due to violations of its provisions.

The minister highlighted ongoing efforts by the international community and regional actors to find a resolution, expressing hope that shifting regional dynamics—including Iran’s declining influence and the designation of the Houthis as a terrorist group by some nations—could pressure them into embracing a political solution and complying with international resolutions.
