With the silence of the United Nations Human Rights Mission officials against
Houthi militia crimes and the choice of a "policy of turning a blind
eye" to them, members of the Houthi terrorist group are extending their
attacks to include United Nations staff members themselves.
In the Yemeni capital Sanaa, the abduction of an international employee while
the city of Hodeidah saw another kidnapping. The militia stormed the food
stores of the Red Sea silos, causing the looting of tens of thousands of tons
of food supplies for the Yemeni people.
Despite the opposition of the Republic of Yemen, the United Nations Human
Rights Council voted on Friday (September 28th) to extend the investigation
into war crimes in Yemen. The so-called Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Iranian-backed Houthi militias thanked the countries that voted for the
extension of the mandate of the Human Rights Mission. This has prompted the
legitimate government, the international coalition and the Arab Group in the
Security Council to accuse the mission of bias towards the Houthis, and that
the committee's report exceeded the standards of professionalism, integrity and
impartiality.
UN confusion
Mohamed Alaadin, a researcher in Iranian affairs, said that since the Houthi
coup in Yemen, and until now, the United Nations has remained biased with the
Huthis in the era of former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon or current
secretary-general Antonio Guterres. The United Nations in this way is working
to dismantle the references to find a formula that gives the Houthis a
political representation that exceeds their real size by making them obtain
what Hezbollah obtained in Lebanon.
He added that the collaboration of the organization with Qatar and the Houthis
has been exposed; there is nothing left to do except to line up with Iran to
complete the contract. This collaboration is increasing every day as the
Arab-led forces of Saudi Arabia achieve a new victory in Yemen. When the grip
on the Houthis gets more tightened, the United Nations starts to embark on
initiatives and compromises that would save the Huthi militias.
