Yemen denounces UN decision for removing aggression coalition from child killers’ list
SANAA, June 24 (YPA) – Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yahya Ali al-Raee, on Wednesday said that Yemen denounced the UN-issued decision for removing the Saudi-led aggression coalition from the child killers’ list in Yemen.
The move came during his letter written to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.
In the letter, al-Raee regretted the unfair decision to exclude the aggression coalition from the black list of child killers in Yemen, in light of the crimes and genocide committed by the aggression against the Yemeni women and children for five years.
Al-Raee addressing Guterres, said, “We were counting heavily on your presence at the head of the United Nations to be an effective model for looking at the grievance of the Yemeni people as a result of this war and the blatant aggression against civilians, children, women and elderly people by the aggression states.”
The Speaker of the parliament indicated to the United Nations’ reports on the Yemeni children’s rights being violated by the coalition, as well as the reports regarding the coalition’s responsibility to kill thousands of children, most of them by air strikes.
He stressed that these crimes against the Yemeni people are documented by the United Nations and civil society organizations, especially the killing of Yemeni children as a result of air strikes on schools, homes and roads.
He pointed out that more than five million children in Yemen are at risk of contracting deadly diseases due to the ongoing blockade in accordance with the United Nations reports.
Al-Raee called the United Nations to back away from the unfair decision agiainst the Yemeni people.
He pointed out that the United Nations was addressed more than once that the main objective by the aggression countries aimed at occupying and dividing Yemen, adding that what happening in Socotra and Mahra provinces by the Saudi Arabia and UAE’s occupation forces was the good example.
