Yemen's Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani said the Houthi militia's intensive propaganda that they are countering Al-Qaeda in the central Yemeni governorate of Al Beidha is an attempt to cover up on the militia's links with other terror organizations. In a statement to Yemen News Agency (Saba), Al-Eryani said, "These fabrications are a desperate attempt to cover up on their collusion and coordination in the field with Al-Qaida and Daesh (so-called IS) organizations under the patronage of Iran." Al-Eryani said the Houthis "seek to label every oppositionists to them as being an affiliate to Al-Qaida and Daesh. In fact they have established a deep relationship with these terrorist organizations. The relationship between them is characterized by cooperation and collusion in various fields." —SPA
