AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The Yemenis condemned the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres decision of taking the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen off a global list of parties whose actions have harmed children, several years after it was first named and shamed for killing and injuring children in Yemen.
Citizens say that this act confirms the United Nations' persistence and its involvement in the continued aggression and blockade by abandoning its humanitarian role and standing with the executioner against the victim.
“We strongly condemn this step. It has proven that the United Nations has become a party to the war on Yemen, because killing, siege and destruction are still continuing in Yemen. It proves that these countries are using their money not only to kill the Yemeni people, but also to hide the truth,” political activist Hussein Al-Bukhiti said in an interview with Al-Alam TV channel .
For his part, the head of Eye of Humanity Center, Ahmed Abu Hamra, told Al-Alam channel that removing Saudi Arabia from the blacklist comes as part of committing more massacres and killing many children among the Yemeni people at a time when the UN is a main partner in the aggression against Yemen.
Officials confirm that this step reveals a clear complicity of the UN and a bias justifying the forces of the aggression to commit more inhuman crimes against the Yemenis, which is a flagrant violation of international human rights laws and contrary to the UN Charter.
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Rights Ali Tayseer stressed that the UN legitimizes and encourages these countries to continue killing children, violating international laws that completely prohibit the killing of children.
The UN decision came as the Saudi-led aggression launched a series of airstrikes targeting various areas in the capital, Sana’a, and a number of other governorates, in addition to committing a new massacre in Sa’adah governorate with an airstrike that struck a vehicle carrying civilians on Monday, killing 13 people, including four children.
