Hodeidah / Mocha , Newsyemen, private :
The Iranian arm militia has resumed its daily escalation by bombing and targeting residential communities in the city center of southern Hodeidah, while the atmosphere of tension in the city of Hodeidah is clouded after direct targeting of control points and sniping of a liaison officer with the rank of colonel of representatives of the joint forces amid resentment of lax attitudes and handcuffing the joint forces to punish Houthi terrorism
Tension and anticipation loomed after the withdrawal of all liaison officers and representatives of the joint forces from five joint observation points in the city of Hodeidah on Wednesday as a result of the continuous attacks and direct targeting by militants and snipers of the Houthi militia, the latest of which was targeting the fifth observation point in City Max inside the city of Hodeidah and the injury of Colonel Mohamed Sharaf Al-Sulayhi in the head while performing his duties in a joint team under the supervision of the United Nations.
No action or comment was issued by the UNOMA Joint Monitoring Committee in Hodeidah until Thursday morning, while the government team warned of the collapse of Stockholm as a result of the dangerous escalation, blaming the Houthi militia with full responsibility and repercussions.
While the head of the government team, Muhammad Aidah, said that the escalation would bring things back to square one, however, he called on the United Nations, the UN envoy to Yemen and the UN monitoring team in Hodeidah "to define a clear and explicit position on such flagrant violations of the Stockholm Agreement."
Houthi militias opened the arm of Iran in Yemen yesterday evening, with medium-weapons fire towards residential neighborhoods in the city of Hais, especially in the quarter of the Hadrami neighborhood in the city, which is a daily target for Houthi missiles and bullets. The similar bombing yesterday caused material damage to food depots, warehouses, and shops in the city itself.
I condemned the initial reactions and comments regarding the slackening of governmental and international positions towards the manifestations of terrorism, criminality and militia escalation, and its imposition as a fait accompli without deterrence or strict positions in light of handing the joint forces with the obligations and obligations of an agreement burned by Houthi intransigence daily and from its first day a year and a half ago.
