Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Ben Dagher has urged the Houth miliants to lay down their arms before any talk about a national unity government in the country.

At a press conference on Wednesday, he said the Yemeni elected government represented in President Abd Rabb Mansor Hady has been subjected to the treachery of Houthi coup leaders and the supporters of ousted president Ali Abdallah Saleh.

He pointed out that the coup and rebellion against legitimacy only brought destruction to Yemen, stressing the importance of peace negotiations in Kuwait to achieve stability in line with Security Council resolution 2216 and the Gulf initiative.

The Houthi delegation on Sunday pulled out of peace talks sponsored by the United Nations in Kuwait in protest against a Saudi-led coalition airstrike that they said killed seven of their followers.

An official with the Houthi group said that "Houthi delegates in Kuwait and their allies of Saleh's General People's Congress Party withdrew from today (Sunday) talks in protest against the ceasefire breach, which is the airstrike in Nihm."
