Yemen's Huthi rebels detain aid workers, including 11 UN staff Sat, 8 June 2024 Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels have detained more than a dozen aid workers, including 11 United Nations staff, in an apparently coordinated crackdown, the Yemeni government, aid groups and the UN said Friday. The abductions underline the perilous task facing aid workers in Yemen, whose long-running civil war has precipitated one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. "Huthi de facto authorities have detained 11 United Nations national personnel working in Yemen," UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said. "We're pursuing all available channels to secure the safe and unconditional release of all of them as rapidly as possible." The Yemeni Mayyun Organization for Human Rights said at least 18 Yemeni aid workers were kidnapped in four rebel-held parts of the war-torn country. The "simultaneous" abductions took place in Sanaa, the key port of Hodeida, Amran and Saada, the rebels' traditional stronghold, the aid group said. Human Rights Watch said the Huthis "appear to be arbitrarily detaining the individuals based on their employment," adding that the whereabouts of many remain unknown. The abductees include the husband and children, ages three years and nine months, of a woman who works with a civil society organisation in Yemen, HRW said. The Huthis have kidnapped, arbitrarily detained and tortured hundreds of civilians, including UN and NGO workers, since the start of Yemen's conflict in 2014, according to rights groups. Yemen's internationally recognised government condemned the "massive abduction campaign," saying it targeted "dozens of employees of UN agencies, the office of UN envoy Hans Grundberg, and several international organisations working" in the capital Sanaa and other Huthi-run areas. In a statement on social media platform X, Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani called it an "unprecedented escalation and a flagrant violation of international laws and conventions". There was no immediate comment from the Huthis. "The Huthi armed group raided the homes and kidnapped staff of the United Nations and other international organisations operating in four governorates under" their control, the Mayyun Organization said. This "serious escalation... constitutes a violation of the privileges and immunities of United Nations personnel", it added, describing the abductions as "blackmail practises in order to obtain political and economic gains". Several aid workers have been killed or kidnapped throughout the conflict, forcing international agencies to temporarily suspend operations or pull out international staff as a security precaution. "The Huthis' actions are undermining essential humanitarian work in Yemen at a time when the majority of Yemenis do not have adequate access to basic necessities like food and water," Niku Jafarnia, Yemen researcher at Human Rights Watch, told AFP. The Yemeni information minister said the Huthis have "previously abducted dozens of United Nations employees", with at least three kidnapped over the past three years still in detention. Last year, charity Save the Children suspended operations for 10 days in northern Yemen after a staff member died in detention in the rebel-held capital. Also last year, a long-serving staffer with the UN World Food Programme was shot and killed in the southern city of Taez by unknown gunmen. The Huthis seized control of Sanaa in September 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention on behalf of the government the following March. Since November, they have launched a flurry of drone and missile strikes targeting ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, a campaign they say is intended to signal solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza war. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/yemens-huthi-rebels-detain-aid-173451296.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS5hdS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANNqde_y-hf581dSPu00_KYfYL-B2cgm5haZnz6ihgPFZmHoggVC1AuHqO_l0ntZp9IqEG-ClL4cqLBMlEuQ5EGyuS8Cyoc003rGT3E_rHnPFM5XNDk5e7rFTWsSVYGsE67Jp8hrZt-L9pYqlOieXCXzSAyijvWYaLMsxfSVh3Rh

If these people are spooks or stooges of intelligence services of the US, Israel, UK, France, or Germany they are there at their own risk and endanger themselves if they are transmitting intelligence to the US, Israel, UK, France, or Germany.

The US, Israel, UK, France, or Germany cannot expect their agents to have impunity in regard to local laws and customs concerning collecting and transmitting information that may compromise security.

Israel has made a good start ... now the world needs to get on the team and get cracking.

Are these Houthis going to be charged with crimes against humanity etc?

Shyaddup you.....

These are not 'Israel' - they are members of a tiny sect who don't even go to work to feed their families - their families instead feed them to be great thinkers.... and you know by now what Overthink does to the thinking man's mind.....

"Moshe - I wass vundering yesterday about this thing of Houthi.... perhaps I thought, they are a Houthigender or something.... or maybe Houth-husbands ... this would go a long way to explaining their behaviour... then I vass thinking - this Laughter Boy humour - he needs schtrapping to young Oppenheimer's dream bomb ... just for a few minutes... as a comedian he hass no hope... perhaps as fertiliser?"

If GTTF's family had fed him in the same way he would not be howling at the moon.

Ayah al-Kahf (The Cave) 18:71 Quran.
And so the two went on their way, till they reached the seashore; and when they disembarked from the boat that had ferried them across, the sage made a hole in it- whereupon Moses exclaimed: "Hast thou made a hole in it in order to drown the people who may be travelling in it? Indeed, thou hast done a grievous thing!"  Then did Rubymar, a UK-owned bulk carrier, become the first ship to sink as a result of a Houthi attack. Moses was wrathful against LaughCry and gave bread and wine to the starving Muslims.

... and the united empires of the West gave them the gift of fire .....

Bite the hand that feeds you.
