Arab writers and politicians expose Houthi militia terrorism.. and call on society to act against them

Writers and political researchers strongly condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by Houthi militias on civilian, economic and vital installations in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, asserting that they are a serious violation of international human rights and humanitarian law, which requires a firm position from the international community.

Disobedience to haters

Dr. Anwar Gargash, an advisor to the UAE president, said the UAE is defiant of haters and aggressors, referring to Houthi militias backed by Iran.

Following the success of the UAE armed forces in countering two Houthi ballistic missiles, he noted the UAE’s role in spreading good in the region as the true model of Arab history and culture.

He stressed that it is the impregnable dam in the face of the forces of darkness and terrorism, pointing to its efforts to achieve a prosperous future in the face of the agendas of destruction, stressing that they were disappointed and their efforts were disappointed; Darkness is too weak to block light.

The Houthi crimes

Dr. Abdullah al-Shaiba, an analyst and political writer, said that since the first day of the coup of the Houthi terrorist group against the legitimate regime in Yemen, their terrorist crimes do not stop against innocent people, but continue to be equated with international silence towards this cross-border terrorism.
He said he believes only Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been standing up to him in attempts since 2015 to restore legitimate rule in Sanaa.

He explained that anyone is able to know with certainty the intentions and plans of the Houthi group and those behind it, and they know that the group’s complete control over Yemen will inevitably lead to the spread of terrorism and the control of those behind the Houthi on the vital strategic Bab Al-Mandab Strait, through which 7% of global navigation passes.

The question that had not yet been answered by the international system was: Who is causing Yemen’s humanitarian situation to fall off a cliff with more than 20 million Yemenis in need of humanitarian assistance, of whom more than 16 million are hungry – men, women and children, tens of thousands live in famine-like conditions, and five million are just one step away from famine?… Isn’t the coup of the Houthi terrorist group against the regime in Yemen the direct and sole cause of the deterioration of the humanitarian, health and social conditions in Yemen?.

He called for preventing financial and military support to the Houthi group and the imperative of disarming it, and preventing any threats that harm Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, by taking all necessary measures to ensure that the Houthi terrorism does not reach the territories of the two countries in the future and to protect the innocents and installations in both countries.

He continued: It is time for the international regime to do its part, in effect, not in words, to end the Houthi coup, stop its terrorist operations, restore internationally recognized legitimate governance to Sana’a, and ensure the restoration of security and safety to the Yemeni people.

UAE Ambassador to the United States, Yousef Al Otaibi, said that the close cooperation of the UAE and the US helped repel another round of attacks by Houthi militias, in a tweet on the short-form Twitter.

Terrorist group

Abdulah Bin Bijad Al Otaibi, a Saudi writer and researcher, said that Houthi militias believe that they are not subject to international laws and only abide by Lieutenant Hussein Al-Houthi, and that they violate international agreements. He pointed out the examples of their continuous and stable violations of the Stockholm agreement on al-Hudaydah port, turning it into a port for importing weapons of all types, and bringing in military trainers from similar militias in the region, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah.

He pointed out that the threat of sea lanes and navigation is a threat to all countries of the world and to international trade, and the Bab Al-Mandab strait from which merchant ships that cross to the Suez Canal, which is a point of communication between the east and the west, and the Houthi militia, which practices sea piracy with strategic determination, hijacked the ship Rawaby, and before that it was exposed to Saudi and international ships in an effort that must stop and this terrorist militia be forced to refrain from threatening international peace and security.

Ballistic missiles and drones are a violation of international laws and a threat to international peace and security, he said, adding that they are using them in a stable and continuous manner against Saudi Arabia and a few days ago against the UAE as they develop their technology and quality through continuous experiments without effective and effective international deterrence, and without reclassifying Houthi militias as terrorists, all these threats will increase and increase.

He said the most dangerous weapons for Houthi are the cross-border ideology and abhorrent sectarianism, which they use as a weapon against the Yemeni people first and against neighboring countries and the Arab Coalition. Anyone who does not know the danger of ideology should read long and short history and consider what ideology makes of terrorism, groups and organizations, he said.

He said the Yemeni scene has complexities and entanglements of multiple dimensions, but it is not difficult to understand, whether political, tribal, sectarian or doctrinal. With science and logic, all of this can be sorted out and a coherent vision can be built to help deal with it, in support of the Yemeni people and in rejection of exploiting these complications and engagements by any entity to harm Yemen and its neighboring countries.

National security threat

Khaled Okacha, head of the Egyptian Center for Thought and Strategic Studies, said: The ongoing Houthi attacks represent a serious threat to regional security.

A major effort will be made to cut off the hands of terrorist groups and curb such operations, Okacha said, noting that as the Houthi militias tighten their grip, the group is escalating its attacks, just deluding itself that they can continue its criminal operations.
