The weekly newspaper reported in a front page article that local sources in Saada governorate said that Al-Houthi gunmen in Dahian province have driven out teams tasked to survey damage and destruction in the war-torn province and held their cameras on Tuesday.

It went on to say that the parliamentary committee formed to oversee the Qatari-mediated truce left Saada to Sana'a in order to meet the Qatari delegation which has just returned to Yemen to resume its efforts for the sake of ending the sedition and stopping bloodshed. The Qatari mediation team left Saada to Qatar last Tuesday in the wake of obstacles and barriers posed to mediators' attempt to end the crisis.
