Experience has shown that any talks amid continuation of siege and war ends in failure, Mohamed Abdul Salam wrote in a post on his Twitter account, Al-Masirah TV reported.

He added that the Yemeni nation is not going to try the same thing that has failed multiple times.

“The priority of our nation is a halt to the war and end to the blockade of Yemen before any negotiation starts,” Abdul Salam went on to say.

“Our priority is an end to the Saudi aggression and the siege so that the conditions become ready for dialogue in a calms and safe atmosphere.”

The Saudi-led military aggression against Yemen was launched in March 2015 with the aim of reinstalling Yemen’s former Riyadh-backed government and crushing the country’s Houthi Ansarullah movement, which has been both running state affairs and defending the nation against the aggression.

Thousands of Yemenis have so far lost their lives in the war, which also recruits many of Saudi Arabia’s regional allies, and enjoys logistical, political, and arms support from the United States and the United Kingdom.

Saudi Arabia has also imposed an all-out blockade over Yemen’s ports, saying it was aimed at preventing transfers of weapons to Ansarullah. The siege has been depriving the most impoverished Arab nation of direly-needed food and medicine.
