Yemen's Shia Houthi movement says it will not surrender to "threats" amid calls by its neighboring countries on the United Nations to use force over the country's security situation.
"The Yemeni people won't cede power in the face of threats," Yemen's state news agency Saba quoted Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam as saying on Sunday.
Abdulsalam also stressed that Yemenis were "engaged in a process of self-determination free of any foreign tutelage".
The remarks came one day after foreign ministers of the six Persian Gulf Cooperation Council member states urged the UN Security Council to consider military intervention in the Arabian Peninsula country under the UN’s Chapter 7.
