Yemenis protest UN complicity in Saudi airstrikes



Press TV- Yemenis have taken to the streets of the capital city Sanaa in protest at Saudi Arabias relentless airstrikes and a flawed UN-proposed peace plan.

Hundreds gathered outside the hotel where UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmad was staying on Saturday in a show of opposition to the peace plan he offered last month.

The protesters also chanted slogans against Saudi Arabias deadly bombing campaign on its impoverished neighbor, and the UNs complicity in Riyadhs atrocities.



Similar protests were also held during Ahmads last trip to Yemen, while he announced his peace plan.

So far Yemen's Ansarullah movement has announced that a United Nations-proposed peace plan could only be used as a "basis for discussion" as it still contains "fundamental flaws."

The Houthi fighters noted that the plan lacked in details and had timeframe flaws and also did not include a "total, permanent ceasefire" or refer to the lifting of the blockade against the impoverished country.



Yemens resigned president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi has also turned downthe UN peace proposal, saying that it only rewarded the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

Saudi Arabia has been engaged in the deadly campaign against Yemen since March 2015 in an attempt to bring back the former Yemeni government to power and undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement. The United Nationsputs the death toll from the military aggression at over 10,000.
