The Yemeni Government: UN Depends on Fallacies and the Ally Protects Legitimacy

[su_label type=”info”]‎SAMA News – Report[/su_label][su_spacer size=”10″][su_label type=”info”]Amman – SMA – PIC[/su_label][/su_spacer] The Yemeni government expressed denunciation and surprise of the UN Report about children in conflict areas as the report put the legitimacy government and coup militias at the same side. In a ‎press release, the government said: “Legitimacy is seeking to protect people not to recruit children‎ in military actions. We cooperate with UN and committed to its decrees and international laws. It is unacceptable to consider the Legitimacy Support Ally in Yemen under command of Saudi Arabia‎ at the same side with other parties depending on reports issued by armed militias categorized by‎ the Security Council under the 7th chapter as mutant and coup militias. It is illogical to include the‎ Legitimacy Support Ally, that initiates the mandatory decrees of the Security Council on behalf of ‎the international society, in this report as it is totally contradicted with what the same report referred to as protective measures for children taken by the ally”. ‎
In this press release, the Yemeni government stated several remarks and clarifications about misleading information used in the reports. According to these facts, the government asked the Security ‎Council to revise the report and to eliminate the names of Yemeni government and Legitimacy Support Ally from it. SAMA News is publishing the statement: ‎
The Legitimate Government of Yemen followed with concern what is said about the annual report, ‎prepared by Mrs. Virginia Gemba, special representative of UN General Secretary for Children and‎‎ Armed Conflicts. We express our severe denunciation and surprise of this report about putting our legitimate government at the same side with coup militias. Legitimacy is seeking to protect people not to recruit children in military actions. We cooperate with UN and committed to its decrees and international laws in addition to the Security Council decrees, the last of them was decree no. 2‎‎216. It is unacceptable to consider the Legitimacy Support Ally in Yemen under command of Saudi‎‎ Arabia at the same side with other parties ‎depending on reports issued by armed militias categorized by the Security Council under the 7th chapter as mutant and coup militias‎. ‎
It is noteworthy that the Legitimacy Support Ally under command of Saudi Arabia, initiates the mandatory decrees of the Security Council on behalf of the international society‎ to maintain the prestige of this international organization as a reference to all nations and as a security warrant for all ‎people seeking security, stability and human rights. This can never be achieved unless international ‎decrees and authorities initiating them are respected. ‎
Therefore, practicing and activating laws and decrees is more important than issuing them. It is inacceptable that the Legitimacy support ally that initiates the Security Council decrees is to be listed ‎at the same side with others categorized as coup militias and mutants against local and international legitimacy. It is totally contradicted with what the same report referred to as protective measures for children taken by the ally. ‎
The report neglected that main reason behind the suffering of Yemeni children. This reason is that ‎armed militias, with clear and documented support from Iran, turned on legitimate authorities, started a war and tried to force its will on the majority of Yemeni people. The international society formed a non-precedent consensus against that coup project and issued the security council decree no. 2216 under the 7th chapter. The Legitimacy Support Ally under command of Saudi Arabia was formed to initiate the decree and help the legitimate government to restore the state from the coup militias. ‎
Since that date, the coup militias insist on not to agree with the local and international will in addition to committing major war crimes against the Yemeni people who refused their armed coup project. ‎
The problem is clear as there is a military coup that should end to respect the will of Yemeni people and decrees of the international society. It should end either peacefully through unconditioned ‎initiation of the Security Council Decree or by force through military solution. All the suffering and ‎human disasters in Yemen result from the continuous refusal of coup forces to stand down. ‎
One of the misleading contradictions of the report is the issue of delivering 52 children to Yemeni ‎government by UN efforts. This is not correct as the government received those children from Saudi Arabia and UN representatives were only invited to the event. ‎
To insure the firm treatment of Yemeni government with facts and or total refusal to falsification or dependence on misleading numbers delivered by coup militias, we request UN to provide us with names of deceased, injured and kidnapped children and locations of their accidents, that the report listed their numbers, to grant the rights of their families and start an investigation about them. ‎‎ ‎
To correct facts and clarify the numbers stated in UN report about children in armed conflict locations, the Yemeni government issue the following remarks: ‎
UN is still depending on NGOs loyal to Al-Houthi and Saleh’s militias as sources of information and these NGOs deliberately try to mislead the international public opinion to turn the political crisis ‎into a human one. ‎
UN depends on reports issued by the ministry of health and hospitals under control of Al-Houthi ‎Militias the deliberately falsify the reports and provide UN with exaggerated numbers to win political gains. ‎
International organizations have a weak representation in the liberated territories and this makes them vulnerable to misleading information as they depend on non-reliable resources and the UN is still ignoring our requests on this concern. ‎
International organizations in Sanaa are under threat of the coup authorities represented by Al-Houthi and Saleh’s militias that force them to use their statistics and false information or else these organizations’ work will be terminated. ‎
Through investigations of the national committee of investigation, the legitimate government got solid proof that Al-Houthi militias, in only one incident as an example, falsified more that (100) death‎ certificates and this makes numbers issued by them non-reliable. ‎
According to UN reports, Al-Houthi militias recruited children and sent them to battel fields and then blamed the Ally for their killing to hide the main crime which is recruiting children for military ‎actions. ‎
Al-Houthi militias falsified the registries of ministry of health and its hospitals through registering children who were killed in battel fields as civilian casualties during the Ally air strikes. ‎
Registries and statistics of the legitimate government about correct numbers of children casualties and causes of death are not recognized. ‎
Al-Houthi militias deliberately mislead the international society through exaggerated numbers of children casualties and Cholera to blackmail them to pressure on the Ally for stooping military actions‎ against them and to provide their coup with legitimacy. The international society proved these numbers to be inaccurate for several times especially when compared with each other’s as numbers ‎of what they called “causalities of air strikes” are used as numbers of Cholera causalities. ‎
The report made a slight reference to what the Ally did for improving children protection measures. But it ignored listing efforts of the Ally in relief of the weakest sectors in Yemen and rehabilitation of children recruited to military actions through programs of King Salman’s Center for Relieving ‎Yemeni Children. ‎
According to these facts, the Yemeni government asks the International Security Council to revise the reports and eliminate the names of the Legitimacy Support Ally and the Yemeni Government from it. In addition, we request the council to use accurate information and refrain from using misleading information like the ones listed in the report to protect the prestige of UN and the International Security Council and to respect their true role in dealing with accurate facts as a base for advocating human rights and international legislations. ‎
