Yemeni Houthi Leader Committed To National Dialogue
Mohammed Nasser Al-Bakhiti, representative of Ansarullah (the Houthis’ movement) to the National Dialogue talks, discusses his party’s vision for Yemen in an exclusive telephone interview with Al-Monitor.
Mohammed Nasser Al-Bakhiti, the representative of Ansarullah (the Houthis' movement) at Yemen's National Dialogue Conference, told Al-Monitor in a phone interview about his group’s new religious-political approach for Yemen.
Bakhiti asserted that his movement has a great interest in the success of the national dialogue, indicating that the regime's old guard, the Islamic party of Islah (which combines Salafis and Muslim Brotherhood members) and the Al-Ahmar family don’t want the dialogue to succeed.
He added that these powers promote the continuation of corruption in order to protect their interests.
The Houthi official said that his group’s new approach for Yemen calls for building a civil democratic state. He added that this approach supports a federal parliamentary system in Yemen based on a “relative electoral Law,” because this system will be able to dismantle the former regime.
