Sa’ada Committee Head Faris Mana’a Disputes Houthis

Filed under: 9 hostages, Saada War — by Jane Novak at 7:39 pm on Saturday, June 20, 2009

Faris Manaa is a major weapons trafficker, and thats well known. I had first heard of him four years ago though in the context of drug smuggling. He is the head of the governmental committee tasked with maintaining the cease fire. Faris Manaa is also the brother of the governor of Sa’ada, Hassan Manaa.

There was some whole thing where the 26 Septemper (sic), the military’s website, quoted Faris, the head of the reconciliation committee, and the Houthi website then disputed that he had actually made those statements. Now here he is rebutting their rebuttal.

Almotamar.net – Chairman of the presidential committee assigned with establishing peace in the governorate of Saada Sheikh Faris Manaa denied on Saturday the lies reported in al-Houthi website in person of Manaa in that he had not given a statement calling al-Houthi to stop the violations and to meet to what had been agreed on.

Manaa has also mocked those leaks, describing them as abnormal means and wondering by saying,” I don’t know who has given them the right to talk on behalf of me.” He added, “I am alive and any media instrument can talk to me instead of attributing statements in a false manner.”

Sheikh Faris has moreover renewed his call on al-Houthi to stop violations and to be loyal to what has been agreed on recently for the evacuation of the district of Shada and Ghamr and the remaining of the district of Razih that has been agreed of evacuating gunmen from it and ending armed aspects in it.
