Yemeni government urged the UN to put an end to Houthi attacks in Marib
On Wednesday, the Yemeni government appealed the UN Security Council to put a term to Houthi escalation in Yemen, affirming that the Iran-supported group showed its ignorance to the pressure made by the international community.
Arab nations denounced Houthis for its changeable behavior when they dealing with efforts to negotiator peace in the war-ravaged country. Indeed, human rights organizations are alerting against the failure of 90 IDP camps because of the escalation of the Houthis assaults in west and northwest of Marib governorate.
On his part, Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak said: What the Houthi militias are doing sends clear messages that they are not interested in peace…This requires exerting maximum pressure on them to stop their attacks and force them to deal positively with peacemaking efforts. This comes during the welcome of the Russian Ambassador to Yemen, Vladimir Dedushkin.
The minister also stressed the importance of the Council taking measures to put an end to the Houthi military escalation and repeated violations, appealing for obliging the Iran-aligned militia to control its behavior and cease its assaults intended to destabilize Yemen and the region.
Bin Mubarak also said talking about the Riyadh Agreement signed between the Yemeni government and the Southern Transitional Council (STC), it lays the foundations for peace and achieving national reconciliation. According to the deal, a power-sharing government based in Aden was established.
He also indicated: Since the first day of the government’s return (to Aden), Houthis have shown hostility and a wild desire for blocking efforts for ending the war in Yemen.
It should indicate that Houthis have increased their military operation across multiple fronts, when in Marib, the militias targeted civilian neighborhoods with ballistic missiles. They also intensified their assaults in Hodeidah, where a mosque was ruined by a rocket bombardment.
