The Chairman of Yemen’s Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SRC), Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, has called on the United Nation’s Security Council to deal seriously with peace following the arrival of the national delegation to Sweden.
Al-Houthi urged the UNSC to prove its “non-involvement in the famine, siege and the daily massacres” committed by the Saudi/UAE-led coalition
“Betting on anything else other than seriousness would undermine [peace], and would lead to a repetition of the failure of the peace talks in Kuwait,” the Houthi official wrote in a post on Twitter on Wednesday.
He further stressed that such a failure will not just harm the Yemeni people but will rather hold the UN responsible for turning a blind eye to the Saudi-led aggression and their allies’ continued violation of humanitarian and international laws.
Saudi Arabia and its allies launched the deadly military aggression against Yemen in March 2015 in an attempt to reinstall the country's former Riyadh-allied regime and crush the Houthis, who have been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government.
The war is estimated to have left 56,000 Yemenis dead.
Back in June, the Saudi-led coalition launched an offensive on the port city of Hodeida despite international warnings that it would compound the war-torn nation’s humanitarian crisis.
The Saudi-led offensive, coupled with a naval blockade, has destroyed Yemen's infrastructure and led to famine in the import-dependent state.
About 8.4 million Yemenis are now facing starvation. The number is likely to increase to 14 million.
