UN envoy in cahoots with invaders: Yemen’s Houthi movement

The Yemeni Houthi Ansarullah movement has slammed the UN’s Yemen envoy for failing to speak the truth about the situation on the ground in the conflict-torn country, saying the diplomat is in fact siding with the invaders by keeping silent on Saudi crimes.

UN Special Envoy for Yemen “Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed cannot utter a word of truth,” Mohammad Abdulsalam, Ansarullah’s spokesman, told Yemen’s al-Masirah television network on Tuesday.

Abdulsalam, whose movement has been defending Yemen against a deadly Saudi war, further said the United Nations “only seeks to cover up the invaders’ crimes and the issue of Yemen’s blockade.”

The UN envoy “is unfortunately in cahoots with the invaders,” he added.

The Ansarullah official further pointed to a recent visit by the UN envoy to the capital, Sana’a, saying the enemy carried out numerous attacks against Yemen during Cheikh Ahmed’s stay, but he showed no reaction.

The United Nations has suffered a vehement defeat in its peacemaking efforts aimed at ending the crisis in Yemen, he added.
