Aden, Newsyemen:
The United Nations Mission in Hodeidah criticized the targeting of the Arab coalition for booby-trapped Houthi boats intended to strike the safety of maritime navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab
This biased position in favor of the Houthi militia came in a statement to the head of the United Nations Mission in Support of the Hodeidah Agreement (UNMAH), who expressed concern about the air strikes that occurred in Salif early Sunday morning.
General Abhijit Goha, head of the United Nations Mission and head of the Redeployment Coordination Committee in Hodeidah, said in a statement that these air strikes impede the peace process and threaten the implementation of the Hodeidah agreement.
Observers were surprised by this international stance, which objects to securing international shipping lanes, from Iranian attempts to invest the presence of its military arm in Yemen, Houthi militias, to threaten international interests.
Despite the announcement of the Arab coalition that its attacks in As-Salif are targeting facilities that pose a threat to shipping lines in the Bab al-Mandab strait and the southern Red Sea, the internationalist side has sided with the direction of the Houthi militias using the Sweden agreement as a cover for their movements in Hodeidah and the Red Sea coast.
While General Goha urged the two parties to continue joint work through the Coordination Committee for Redeployment, the Calm Mechanism and the Promotion of the Ceasefire, in order to ensure full respect for the ceasefire and continued calm on the ground, he also ignored the continued violations committed by Houthi militias on a daily basis and affecting military and civilian sites and residential neighborhoods as well.
