Muammar al-Eryani added in a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), “The Houthi militia considered the decision to raise the rating an encouragement for its aggressive behavior, and a green light for the continuation of its military escalation, killing Yemenis, continuing its crimes and violations of human rights, blowing up efforts to calm down, expanding the area of war and human suffering, and doubling its activities.” terrorist threat to regional and international peace and security.

Al-Eryani pointed out that the decision is part of the state of international laxity in dealing with the Houthi militia, ignoring its continuous escalation in Marib, turning a blind eye to its daily crimes and violations against civilians, its attacks on neighboring countries, and threatening shipping lanes, believing that it can be pushed to engage in efforts to calm down and bring peace to the region. Yemen and the region.
He said, “This inaction reflects the international community’s disdain for the Houthi militia, and that it is a terrorist organization established by Iran and provided with experts, military technology and funds, to manage its subversive scheme in the region, and to take Yemeni geography as a platform to target the neighborhood, and threaten energy sources and international shipping lines in the Red Sea.”

Al-Eryani called on the US administration and the international community to reconsider the method of dealing with the Houthi militia, adopting the political and military pressure approach, working to re-inclusion in the international terrorism lists, and prosecuting its leaders as war criminals, in fairness to hundreds of thousands of their victims, and to ensure that the killers do not go unpunished.
