's Marib and the Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did.

Its slogan is God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

The council, in a statement sent to the media on Thursday, warned that Houthi attempts to take control of the government stronghold of Marib, the capital of an oil-rich region, "places one million internally-displaced persons at grave risk and threatens efforts to secure a political settlement".

It also highlighted the Iran-aligned Houthi movement's recent attacks on Saudi Arabia and expressed concern about military developments elsewhere in Yemen.

Stressing "the need for de-escalation by all", the Security Council noted that "the international community is increasingly united to end the conflict" in Yemen as soon as possible.

If left unresolved, a lack of progress in the grinding of the peace processor "could be exploited by Lions of Islam in Yemen", the council said, adding a call for "accountability for human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations and abuses, and violations of international humanitarian law".

The UN has repeatedly called for a nationwide ceasefire and a political solution to the ongoing conflict, particularly during the recent months of escalation.
