The Yemeni regime has eliminated the lawmakers from the ceasefire committees, in a move that raises doubts about its seriousness to close the Saada file forever.
Earlier this week, the MP members of the committees were summoned and informed about the decision as President Saleh met them and discussed what has been achieved on the implementation of the ceasefire deal.
The move also came after the committees supervising the ceasefire deal between the government and the Houth group had made progress on implementing the deal.
The remaining part of their job is collecting the weapons of the group and destroying the landmines still in the hands of the group.
Some politicians and analysts say the government with the move is seeking to use the Saada file as a security card that can be used for achieving special local and regional interests after it said the weapons should be handed directly to the central government but not to the committees.
However, the Shura council members are still part of the committees, according to independent sources.
Also, the committees are now three instead of the four formed when the deal was put into effect last month.
Last Sunday, President Saleh met with the committees and discussed progress on the implementation of the ceasefire.
During the meeting, Saleh also ordered the committees on the border areas and Almalaheedh district, Saada, be one committee and the lawmaker members resume their jobs in Parliament.
Meanwhile, the government has released 150 Houthi prisoners from the Sana'a Central Bank, following the group said it had closed the file of captives releasing about 180 civilian and military prisoners.
On February, the government and the Houthi rebels agreed to ceasefire in the far north ending a six-year war between them.
