The United Nations Tastes Houthi Terrorism.. Houthi Mine Explosion in Car Containing Head of Mission to the United Nations
The terrorist acts committed by the Houthi militia in Yemen continue amid a blatant international silence on the scale of these crimes and violations against civilians, targeting vital installations and threatening oil and international shipping, in addition to violations against children, youth and women, all within the criminal history of the Houthi terrorist group.
Houthi terrorism
The head of the UN Mission in Support of the Hodeidah Agreement, Irish General Michael Perry, survived a minefield explosion on Tuesday as his convoy passed near the July 7 neighborhood in the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, western Yemen.
According to the UN Security Council’s Panel of International Experts, the indiscriminate use of landmines and improvised explosive devices by the Houthis has been endemic and systematic since the beginning of the conflict eight years ago, and more than 10,000 civilian casualties have been caused, most of them women and children, according to local and international human rights reports.
Mine areas
Hodeidah Governorate is one of the areas most contaminated by landmines and remnants of war, and this comes after the UN Security Council called for urgent action to address landmines and explosive remnants of war in Yemen, and the Security Council raised the alarm over the continued death and injury of civilians from landmines and explosive remnants of war in Yemen during the last Security Council meeting on Yemen on 22 November.
Terrorist group
Abdul Hafeez Nahari, a Yemeni political analyst, said: “The explosion of a landmine that was to have killed the head of the mission shows before the whole world the crimes and terrorism carried out by the Houthi militia in Yemen, and the UN mission tasted it,” pointing out that the international community is required to act urgently to stop Houthi terrorism, and designate it a terrorist group.
The Yemeni political analyst added that Houthi’s crimes have reached targeting oil installations, which has become an attack on the capabilities of the Yemeni people and its vital investments that cannot be compensated, and multiplying human suffering only, in addition to their violations against children, planting mines, restricting freedoms, assaulting journalists, imposing extreme restrictions on women, spreading extremist ideas, and demolishing the educational system. All these crimes assume that the Houthi militias will be declared a “terrorist group” by an international resolution .
