Houthi militants declared that Yemen's President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled from the capital last week, is “wanted for justice” and warned against protecting him.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Houthi said “the higher revolutionary committee is following the suspicious moves by ... Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who lost his legitimacy to act as president of the Republic of Yemen, and whose reckless acts harmed the Yemeni people and its security, stability, economy and livelihood".
The group went on to warn against shielding Mr Hadi, stating those that did would be "held accountable."
Mr Hadi, who fled from Sanaa into southern Yemen officially recanted his earlier resignation and began meetings with local tribesmen and politicians on Tuesday.
Meanwhile Hasan Zaid, a senior Houthi politician, said that “if Hadi insists on creating his own force and government in the south, it means he is following a foreign agenda to take Yemen into a civil war.”
“Hadi must understand that he isn't fit to lead Yemen and must accept the fact that he resigned as president and will never be back,” Mr Zaid said.
