The Chairman of the High Revolutionary Committee, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, has put responsibility on the United Nations [UN] and the UN Security Council to stop the aggression and crimes committed by the Saudi-led coalition against the Yemeni people.
In a protest letter sent to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon on Wednesday, Al-Houthi pointed out that Yemenis are shocked by the silence of the international community while genocides and war crimes are committed against Yemen’s sovereignty and independence, and that the UN is unable to stop those crimes or even conduct an international investigation on the crimes committed.
Moreover, he expressed the aspiration of the Yemeni people that the UN will do their obligation regarding the crimes of aggression.
Yemen has been under ceaseless airstrikes by Saudi Arabia since March.
On March 26, a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States began to carry out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country in a bid to restore power to the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
Over 2,615 civilians have been killed in the conflict in the last six months, according to the UN. Yet, other organization put the death toll at much higher. According to the Yemeni health ministry, the death toll from the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen so far is more than 6,000, adding that 1,277 of those killed were children.
