Govt demands UN action on Houthi abandoning of crisis alleviation deal

[11/06/2020 01:48]

ADEN - SABA
Yemen's Government has demanded the United Nations to take action against Houthis for abandoning a deal to alleviate the humanitarian crisis resulting from the rebel militia's own six year insurgency.

In a virtual meeting on Thursday, the Economic Council, a state advisory body composed of Cabinet members, addressed the rebels looting of the central bank in the contested Red Sea port city Hodeidah, funds which according to the Hodeidah Statement of Understanding, should have gone to pay the salaries of public servicemen who are months behind with salaries.

The Council also accused the militia of delaying the discharge of fuel and food vessels arriving to the rebel held port in a deliberate practice meant to cause a crisis in the food markets and a benefit in the militia's own black markets in northwestern Yemen.

By allocating the Hodeidah bank's funds for salaries, the deal aimed at the double benefit of alleviating the humanitarian crisis and "draining funds from the war." But the looted money now will "feed the militia pointless war."

The Council called on the UN peace mediator "to not turn a blind eye to what the militia is doing" in a clear sign of their aversion to peace.

The Council said the militia did not limit itself to stealing humanitarian aid but went on to steal the salaries of the public employees to fuel its war.
