Sanaa - KUNA
The United Nations Secretary General's Special Envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar returned here Saturday a few hours after leaving the country to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia following the Houthi movement's seizure of the power in the Arab country.
In a press statement by Benomar's Office, said that the UN Enovy will hold a new series of meeting with Yemeni parties to reach a peaceful and inclusive solution to the political crisis in Yemen.
In a unilateral move, the Houthi rebels issued Friday a constitutional declaration dissolving parliament and forming a five-member presidential council to run the country's affairs for two years.
The 16-article constitutional declaration also entitles that the Houthi revolutionary committees to form a new government and 551-member national assembly to replace the resigned government and the dissolved parliament.
It also said that the interim authorities will also write a new constitution and complete the formation of the new constitutional institutions in two years.
The move appears to complete Houthis takeover of the country's political establishment after they seized control of the capital Sanaa and the presidential palace last month.
Yemen's embattled president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi resigned soon after his palace was seized on January 20 amid a heated standoff with the powerful rebels.
