The UN mission in Yemen: Obvious collaboration, compliments for Houthis

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.
