RIYADH - SABA
Yemen’s Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Hadhrami said the United Nations Mission to support the Hodeidah Agreement between the government and Houthis is beholden to the Houthis and “it is not acceptable that it remain so.”

In a meeting with the mission’s deputy head Daniela Kroslak, al-Hadhrami stressed the imperative of relocating the headquarter of the mission to a neutral place within the Red Sea port city so that it can perform its duties away from the rebel militia’s “interferences and hindrances.”

Al-Hadhrami also stressed the imperative of continuing to investigate into the Houthi abuses including the targeted killing of the government’s ceasefire observer Mohammed al-Sulayhi before the government resumes its participation in the joint Redeployment and Coordination Committee.
