The Yemeni Islah Party has expressed its sorrow at the Saudi-led coalition attack on the Houthi rebels and called for all parties to enter into dialogue to solve the country’s political problems. The third strongest political party in Yemen said that the situation there has resulted from the failure of all parties and the other main actors to reach political solutions. A source attributed this to the insistence by some groups on resorting to the use of force in order to resolve differences.

In a statement published on its official website, Sahwa.net, the Islah Party renewed its adherence to dialogue and called on all parties to use logic and wisdom by putting national interests over other considerations. Dialogue is necessary, it said, in order to prevent the shedding of innocent blood and put an end to the divisions and fragmentation which plague Yemen. The party called for the Gulf Initiative and relevant UN resolutions to be implemented without delay.
