Social media has been rife with comments and images of Houthi militants blatantly using UN-supplied vehicles, purportedly meant to assist in demining efforts in Hodeidah, during a military parade.
Tweets by the Yemeni Information Minister Moammar Al Eryani carried photos of the Houthi military parade in which the vehicles provided by the UN Development Program (UNDP) were used.
He wrote that the Houthis displayed pictures of Iranian leader Khamenei and also the Hezbollah flag during the parade “five months after the agreement in Sweden, which stipulated the ceasefire and the cessation of all forms of reinforcements and the end of armed demonstrations in the city.”
“The images prove that what the UN envoy calls Yemen local police and Coast Guard forces are Houthi militias.”
Al Eryani accused the UN envoy Martin Griffiths of trying “to achieve personal achievements away from the reality on the ground, which is witnessing further escalation and Houthi involvement in the Iranian agenda.”
New York-based activist Summer Nasser in her tweet addressed the UNDP in Yemen, diplomats and the international community and wrote that no sooner the trucks given by the UNDP to Houthis had created an outcry in Yemen, on the second day the militants used them for a military parade.
