The detentions come as the Houthis, who seized Yemen’s capital nearly a decade ago and have been fighting a Saudi-led coalition since shortly after, have been targeting shipping throughout the Red Sea corridor over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Please, anyone who doesn’t understand the issue there check and see where Gaza is in relation to the Red Sea and Yemen. Also feel free to look up how many of the ships they attacked were actually headed to Israel.
Regional officials, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to brief journalists, confirmed the U.N. detentions. Those held include staff from the United Nations human rights agency, its development program, the World Food Program and one working for the office of its special envoy, the officials said. The wife of one of those held is also detained.
So the same sort of shit that Israel is doing?
Thanks for “helping” the Palestinian cause, Houthis. Maybe you can fucking stop now.
