Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi on Saturday rejected a peace proposal submitted by UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed aimed at ending the war in his impoverished country, a presidency source told AFP.
Hadi "received Ould Cheikh Ahmed and refused to take the UN proposal" handed to him by the envoy, the source said.
The contents of a peace roadmap which the envoy already presented to the rebels in Yemen's conflict on Tuesday have not been made public.
But informed sources say it calls for agreement on naming a new vice president after the rebels withdraw from the capital Sanaa and other cities and hand over heavy weapons to a third party.
Hadi would then transfer power to the vice president who would appoint a new prime minister to form a government in which the north and south of Yemen would have equal representation.
A statement on the government's sabanew.net quoted Hadi as saying the roadmap "only opens a door towards more suffering and war and is not a map for peace".
While previous peace proposals were "logical even if to a certain extent... the thoughts presented today under the name of a roadmap... only carry the seeds of war."
The statement confirmed Hadi refused to receive it, citing him as saying that the plan "rewards the putschists while punishing the Yemeni people and legitimacy".
