A rally was held outside the office of the United Nations in Yemen’s capital Sana’a on Monday to protest against measures of the Saudi-led coalition to hold and prevent ships carrying oil products from docking at Yemen’s ports, the official Saba news agency reported as the warring parties in the nearly four-year-long conflict hold UN-brokered peace talks in Sweden.
The protesters criticized the UN’s silence towards the world’s worst humanitarian crisis caused by the Saudi-led coalition.
They also raised banners and slogans condemning the international community's complicity towards the war crimes committed by the coalition against the Yemeni people for nearly four years.
The participants demanded the United Nations and international community to play a role in stopping the war, lifting the siege and opening Sana’a International Airport and Hodeida port to alleviate the suffering of the Yemenis.
The resigned Hadi regime and the Houthi movement gathered last week at UN-sponsored political talks outside Stockholm, Sweden, aimed at ending the devastating war.
The two sides in the talks met on Sunday for the first direct talks to discuss a prisoner exchange.
This round of talks is expected to last until December 13. According to a diplomat at the talks, the round could be considered successful if the parties reach a general agreement to de-escalate hostilities, on prisoner exchanges, and on holding another round of talks.
