Yemeni Houthi Rebels Say Control Over Al Hodeidah Port Not Under UN Competence

 

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The issue of control over the strategic Yemeni port of Al Hodeidah, contested by the Houthi rebels and the government forces, does not fall under the competence of the United Nations as its primary goal is to observe the situation, a representative of the Houthis told Sputnik on Tuesday.

 

Last week, the Reuters news agency reported, citing sources, that the Houthi rebels, also known as the Ansar Allah, are willing to hand control over the Yemeni port to the United Nations in order to ease tensions around the ongoing offensive of Yemeni government forces to seize the city. Al Hodeidah accepts some 80 percent of all aid and commercial deliveries to the crisis-torn country.

 

"We are not against the United Nations, but we are saying that it must fulfill its entrusted role. The control over anything is not under the competence of the United Nations, its mission is to observe and monitor," Daifallah Shami, a member of the Houthis' politburo, said.

 

The Houthis has been calling against the military settlement of the conflict and for the political reconciliation through the negotiating table, where the Yemenis would be the ones making decisions, the member of the movement noted.

 

On June 13, Yemeni government forces, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, launched an offensive to seize Al Hodeidah from the Houthi movement after the latter failed to respond to the government's offer to withdraw from the port city. Various international organizations and rights groups have called on the warring parties to exercise restraint, warning of catastrophic consequences for the civilian population.

 

The conflict between the Yemeni government and the Houthis, ongoing since 2014, has resulted in thousands of people being killed and a major nationwide humanitarian crisis.
