Yemen Coalition addresses Biden over danger of removing Houthis from list of terrorist organizations

The Yemeni Coalition for Independent Women and 35 regional and international organizations said in a letter addressed to Biden: Removing the Houthis from the Foreign Terrorist Organization list encouraged them to commit more crimes.
The organizations that signed the letter said that removing the Houthi group from the lists of global terrorism was intended to alleviate the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Yemen, but the Houthi militia misunderstood the message and escalated its combat operations for a year and a half and did not engage in a fruitful dialogue, which exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and increased the situation. suffering of the citizens.
In their letter, the organizations confirmed the escalation of the Houthi group’s violence after it was removed from the list of terrorist organizations, as the group’s crimes varied between the siege of cities, the bombing of civilians, the bombing of roads and schools, the sniping of civilians, the recruitment of children, displacement, the theft of humanitarian aid, the looting of employee salaries, the bombing of neighboring countries and the arrest of journalists and opponents.

The organizations that signed the letter considered the removal of the Houthi group's designation from the lists of terrorism, which enabled the Houthis to re-establish their ability to move freely between the financial and international systems.
The letter drew the US President's attention to the suffering of the abductees inside the prisons of the Houthi militia, which includes four Yemeni journalists who have been kidnapped since 2015 and are at risk of execution at any time, in addition to the suffering of abducted women who are subjected to all kinds of torture in that prison.

The letter indicated that the areas not under the control of the Houthis witnessed a significant escalation of hostilities, in the last half of the past year 2021 AD, which led to the displacement of nearly 100,000 people to other areas that their missiles did not reach.
As of June 2022, more than 19 million people are expected to be severely food insecure, an increase of 9% over the first half of 2022.
The letter mentioned that women in Yemen have been raped, murdered, kidnapped and arrested since the beginning of the war at the hands of the terrorist Houthi militia.

This message comes in conjunction with US President Joseph Biden's visit to the region and the Houthis' obstruction of peace efforts and their continued siege of the city of Taiz, which provides for the UN initiative to open roads leading to the city of Taiz and end the suffering of Yemenis.
