UNITED NATIONS
GATE, February 2 – UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres on March
27 lavished
praised on
Saudi Crown
Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman now accused
with respect to
Jamal Khashoggi,
accepting
a $930 million
check from the
Saudis and UAE,
with not a
word of the
Saudi led
bombing
campaign that
has killed
civilians and
caused cholera
in Yemen. On
January 31 the
UN Security
Council held a
meeting on
Yemen, but it
was closed-door
and afterward
only pro-Coalition
Kuwait spoke
on camera. Now
on February 2,
from Guterres'
spokesman
Stephane Dujarric,
this: "On 2
February, in
preparation
for the third
meeting the
Redeployment
Coordination
Committee
(RCC), the
head of the UN
Monitoring
Mission in
support of the
Hodeidah
Agreement
(UNMHA) and
chair of the
committee,
General
Cammaert,
boarded a UN
vessel in the
port of
Hodeidah and
sailed to pick
up the
delegation of
the Government
of Yemen at a
rendezvous in
the Red
Sea.
Gen. Cammaert
and the
delegation
returned to an
anchor point
in the inner
port of
Hodeidah and
will be joined
tomorrow by
the delegation
of the
Houthis.
The parties
will then
resume joint
discussions on
the
implementation
of the
redeployment
of forces and
the
facilitation
of
humanitarian
operations, as
agreed in the
Stockholm
Agreement.
The last joint
meeting of the
RCC concluded
on 3rd
January. Since
then, the RCC
Chair and his
team have been
crossing
frontlines to
keep the
Parties
engaged and
discussing the
implementation
of the
agreement."
Cammaert, who
covered up for
the UN in
South Sudan,
is out. On
January 29 not
Guterres'
murky UN but
the Saudi
Press Agency
announced that
“The
Secretary-General
of the United
Nations
expressed his
gratitude for
the Kingdom’s
support in
pushing for
positive
results in the
dialogue
between the
Yemeni parties."
Meanwhile,
from Washington
DC on January
30, the
day after Sen
Jeff Merkley
against raised
the Saudis'
activities in
Oregon,
this:
"Sens.
Bernie Sanders
(I-Vt.), Mike
Lee (R-Utah)
and Chris
Murphy
(D-Conn.) and
Reps. Ro
Khanna
(D-Calif.),
Mark Pocan
(D-Wis.) and
Pramila
Jayapal
(D-Wash.)
renewed their
efforts in the
Senate and
House
Wednesday to
end U.S.
support for
the Saudi-led
war in Yemen
pursuant to
the War Powers
Resolution.
