UN Coordinator's statement politicized and biased: gov't official
[27/06/2017 01:39]
ADEN-SABA
Yemen's government is contending again that the UN Humanitarian Coordinator's latest press statement was politicized and even biased in favor of the Saleh-Houthi coup militia.
The chairperson of the Supreme Committee for Relief Abdurraqeeb Fatah strongly condemned Jamie Mcgoldrick's statement of 21st June 2017 on "the violation of humanitarian law" in Yemen saying it fails to blame the militias, for all their terrorist crimes against civilians.
In a statement to Saba, Fatah said he was surprised of the coordinator's glaring failure to condemn the terrorist acts of the militia against masses of civilians across Yemen; heavy shelling on neighborhoods, bombing houses, confiscating relief aid convoys and besieging cities to unbearable levels.
Fatah warned that while the wretched humanitarian situation in Yemen worsens even further at the hands of the militia, the UN senior-most official is playing the role of cover-up.
Fatah urged the international organizations to name and blame the real perpetrator.
"It is only a moral and humanitarian obligation to disclose the militia's crimes to the international community," he said, " as per the mandate of the international humanitarian laws and covenants." The Coordinator's statements, he said, "ought to be unbiased but rather should reflect the UN's humanitarian values."
Fatah noted that it is not the first time the UN senior-most official comes up with a too politicized and biased statement, saying the coordinator should report what the militias are doing. "Equating the victim with the executioner is not acceptable."
Citing one example of the militia's atrocities of which the Coordinator took no notice, Fata said: "In the militia-controlled provinces, civilians are bitterly suffering systematic killing by the militia and prevalence of cholera as the militia caused the pileup of garbage and hampered the implementation of WASH projects." The militias are in control of the Hodeidah Airport so they don't allow the arrival of any relief aid to it, he added.
How come the Coordinator did not take notice of the militia's massive killing of hundreds of people and wounding of thousands others, mostly women, in the city of Taiz, Fatah inquired.
The massacres, city siege and relief aid denial, as the militias' crimes, in Taiz alone, should shake the conscience of the international community and human rights organizations galvanizing them into naming the militia a terrorist organization.
Fatah said the government will continue to gather records on the militia's human rights abuses to the opportune time, to bring the abusers to justice.
Earlier, Yemen's foreign ministry had also condemned the Humanitarian Coordinator's statement as politicized and overtly biased.
