Yemen’s government offers amnesty to Houthi defectors

Yemen’s president called on citizens to join the armed forces, and offered amnesty to Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Yemen has transitioned from a focus on containing Houthi escalation to prioritizing the restoration of state authority, according to Deputy Minister of Information Fayadh Al-Numan. Speaking in an interview with Al-Hadath, Al-Numan explained that the nation is now embarking on a campaign to eliminate the militia and rebuild state institutions.

The Deputy Minister emphasized that these objectives are backed by a unified political and military decision-making process. He further affirmed that Yemen's armed forces and security agencies are fully prepared and have demonstrated their readiness across all fronts. Additionally, Al-Numan highlighted the mobilization of national, popular, and political resources to support this initiative, which encompasses diplomatic, political, media, and economic dimensions.
