Shadi Mosin Khasroof, assistant professor in the political department of Sanaa university and the president of Haraka Rafdh, said in an interview with Urdu daily Roznama Rashtriya Sahara during a visit here that though the Shia Houthi rebels had agreed to hand over their ******* after an agreement at a national conference on the future of the country, they went back on their word after a secret meeting with Saleh.
