Al-Houthi accuses France of killing civilians in Yemen

SANAA, Dec. 26 (YPA) – The Supreme Political Council Member Mohammed Ali al-Houthi on Wednesday accused France of participating in killing civilians in Yemen in a fourth Saudi shelling on al-Raqu market in Saada province on Tuesday that used French-made cannons.

“France causes 38 civilians to be killed and wounded in a Saudi artillery shelling on al-Raqu market in Saada’ s boarder district of Monabeh,” al-Houthi said in a tweet on his account on Tweeter.

Al-Houthi added that “the use of French weapons and expertise in the aggression is a crime that French law disregards in exchange for arms deals.”

He described the crime and its predecessors as “terrorism” of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition and its allies in Yemen.

In last October, al-Houthi made the same accusation against France, when he refuted French President Emmanuel Macron’s claims that his country’s weapons are not used in Yemen war, affirming that those weapons had been used by the coalition and caused the displacement of half a million Yemenis.
