| [YEMENONLINE.INFO] Bahrain Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the occupation of the UAE embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, by the Houthi ...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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militia, yesterday. The Foreign Affairs Embassy stressed that this action carried out by Houthi militia is a flagrant violation of international law and diplomatic norms, and a desperate attempt to foil the efforts of re-establishing security and stability in the Republic of Yemen. The ministry accented on the need to respect the inviolability of the headquarters of diplomatic missions and the safety of their staff as guaranteed by the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations. The ministry expressed its appreciation of the UAE efforts in re-establishing security and stability in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... and the region and its support for all regional and international efforts aimed at eliminating all forms of violence and terrorism and those backing and financing them. It called for intensifying efforts to root out the scourge of terrorism from all countries of the world. |
