HR issues statement on fallacies of UN envoy ignoring suffering of Yemeni people

The Ministry of Human Rights on Wednesday expressed its surprise at what was stated in the briefing of the Special Envoy for Yemen to the United Nations General Assembly on November 22, 2022 and the inaccuracies and positions it contained that reveal the continuation of siding with the countries of the aggression, including it does not correspond with the interests of the Yemeni people nor with the description of the worsening humanitarian reality as a result of the continuation of the blockade and the continuous obstacles placed by the aggression countries in this context.

In a statement, the ministry indicated that when the UN envoy talks about what he described as the recent attacks as having undermined the well-being of the Yemeni people, he is thus misrepresenting the human facts before local public opinion, north and south, and concealing the reality of the plundering of the forces and tools of the aggression coalition, Yemeni wealth, on top of which is oil and gas revenues, the good of which does not touch the Yemeni citizen, whether in free zones or under the authorities of invasion and occupation, while this Yemeni right goes to the balances and banks of the aggression coalition, influential and other tools outside the country.

It considered what he mentioned in his briefing jumps outside the humanitarian obligations that he, as well as the United Nations and the Security Council, acknowledge the need to agree on, foremost of which is the payment of salaries to all state sector employees, the continued flow of oil derivatives to the port of Hodeida, and keeping the humanitarian file outside the circle of politicization and conflict.

The Ministry of Human Rights confirmed that the UN envoy did not talk about the exacerbating human suffering as a result of the intransigence of the aggression coalition in settling the salary file, nor about the continued abuses imposed by the countries of the aggression coalition on fuel and food ships and the consequent humanitarian repercussions, nor about the continued fall of women victims, children are the result of forbidden American bombs and mines, and the aggression coalition rejected all calls by Sana’a to remove them and treat their effects.

It also did not address the attacks committed by the aggression coalition, which resulted in dozens of civilian martyrs and the ongoing humanitarian violations in all fields during the period after the end of the armistice.

The United Nations and its envoy called for the victory of humanity and the agreements concluded in this regard, and the cessation of the policy of siding with the aggression party and the state of diluting Yemeni human rights in general, and the most vulnerable groups of civilians, and all of this is done under the table of politics and interests.
