AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Human Rights Watch (HRW) criticized the US administration’s efforts seeking to designate Ansarullah Movement of Yemen as a terrorist group.
Afrah Nasser, specialist in Yemen affairs at the HRW, said in a statement that the designation would create a humanitarian catastrophe and have a catastrophic impact on the humanitarian response in Yemen.
She pointed to the move will make the United States complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, although it can avoid this by canceling the designation.
Nasser noted that “Trump aimed, through this step, to present a parting gift to his Persian Gulf states’ allies, whose involvement in committing crimes and violations in Yemen, most of them with US weapons.
Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, revealed that the US administration will issue a draft resolution that will lead designate Ansarullah Movement as a terrorist group.
