Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, considered by international community, legitimate President of Yemen, has dismissed a peace proposal submitted by the African diplomat Ismail Ould Cheick Ahmed as United Nations correspondent. The President Hadi has received the UN correspondent, but he has refused the proposal, the content of which have not been yet published. The outline has already been submitted to Zaidis-Houthi rebels, whose control the capital of Yemen, Sana'a. From over two years Yemen is weakened and poored by a bloody civil war which never manages to reach his final point. The Hadi government has temporally moved to Aden, and in 2015, more exactly in March, a regional coalition headed by Saudi Arabia took action to help and sustain him. Meanwhile the coalition continues its air raids which have hit buildings throughout the Eastern Yemen area, killing, according to indiscretions, at least 30 people among rebels and prisoners. Previously civilians have been already killed: we talk about at least 17 civilians killed in the district of Taiz, in the South West of Yemen. Taiz is the third major city in Yemen and count about 300 thousands inhabitants. Some media have reported indiscretions which indicate the most important point of the proposal, among which: the Houthi withdrawal from the capital and other cities, with the delivery of all them weapon to a third party; the choice of a vice-president for rebels, who would have the task to nominate a president who would have to establish a government of national unity, so that either government and rebels are represented in equal measure into the new government. The Governative Agency of Saba reports that the President Hadi declares the UN proposal "would open the door to other suffering and war and it is not a peace plan because it rewards plotters and punishes Yemenite population and legality".
Meantime two air raids of the coalition guided by Saudi Arabia have hit a building in Zaidia, Western Yemen, killing at least 30 people, among Houthi rebels and prisoners. Detainees were mostly opposers to Houthi rebels. We learnt it thanks to military sources. Previously, at least 17 civilians were killed in the province of Taiz, South-East of Yemen, by a Saudi-led coalition raid which have destroyed a house. The attack has hit a house in the al-Salw neighborhood, in a Tais area where Houthi rebels and governative forces sustained by the coalition are colliding because of the control of the area. Taiz is the third major city of Yemen with about 300 thousands people. From the beginning of the operation at least 7000 people are dead and the country is ever more exposed and bent by diseases.
