Yesterday, the United Nations envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, called for continued international support to achieve a peaceful solution to the political crisis in Yemen. This came in a statement issued by Grundberg's office after concluding discussions in the Russian capital, Moscow.
The statement said: “The UN envoy concluded a visit to Moscow on Friday, where he held discussions with senior Russian officials, during which he met with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin and Deputy Foreign Minister and Russian Special Envoy to the Middle East Mikhail Bogdanov.”
The UN envoy expressed his appreciation for the unity of the UN Security Council in supporting peace efforts in Yemen.
He stressed “the importance of continued concerted support from the international community to facilitate a peaceful solution to the Yemeni crisis,” according to the statement.
The statement explained that the UN envoy reviewed recent efforts to support the parties to the Yemeni crisis to reach an agreement on a road map and implement their ceasefire commitments, measures to improve living conditions in Yemen, and resume an inclusive political process under the auspices of the United Nations.
In late December 2023, Grundberg announced the commitment of the Yemeni government and the Houthi group to a “set of measures” for a comprehensive ceasefire throughout the country and improving the living conditions of civilians.
In another context, a human rights symposium revealed that the Houthi group blew up 930 houses, the last of which was the bombing of 8 houses on the heads of their residents in the city of “Radaa” in Al-Bayda Governorate.
The symposium explained that “the process of the Houthis bombing houses is a systematic process that comes with premeditation and premeditation and is preceded by many operations such as storming and looting,” referring to what happened on March 19, when the Houthi group blew up 8 houses in the city of “Radaa” on the heads of its residents, which led to More than 35 people were killed and injured, most of them children and women.
The symposium, held on the sidelines of the 55th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, indicated that “a monitoring coalition documented, during the period from March 2011 until September 2023, the Houthis’ bombing of 930 homes, private property, and public facilities in 21 governorates.” She stressed that “the method of bombing homes in Yemen by the Houthis, of opponents and opponents, represents one of the worst revenge operations carried out by the group,” noting that the Houthi group adopts bombing the homes of its opponents as a war strategy, and this policy continues to this day. At the symposium, a number of working papers were presented by experts and jurists, addressing the Houthi violations that civilians are exposed to in Yemen.
The symposium called on the international community to hold the Houthis accountable for the violations they are carrying out against the Yemeni people, especially what happened in the city of Radaa, stressing the need to take the necessary steps to ensure justice for the victims and their families.
