Yemen: UN Gives Cover For U.S. Spies – Endangers Its Employees
http://www.moonofalabama.org/2015/11/yemen-un-help-for-us-spies-endangers-its-employees.html
…………….The Houthis accused the new UN envoy of falsely asserting that they agreed to all Saudi conditions while ignoring the spread of al-Qaeda in southern Yemen. The Russians, also haggling with the Saudis, seem to be the only other party concerned over the spread of al-Qaeda and terrorism in Yemen under the Saudi war cover.
The UN has completely abdicated any neutrality on Yemen. It serves as a mere mouthpiece and servant of misguided U.S.-Saudi policies. The now confirmed, though not admitted, transporting of “former” U.S. special forces under UN cover is an inexcusable breach of its independence and a danger to all its employees.
Any UN envoy or contractor all over the world will now be under suspicion of being a U.S. military or intelligence agent. This will endanger the lives of thousands of UN employees working under difficult circumstances in various conflict areas.
Meanwhile the Saudis and the UAE are pulling all ground forces out of Yemen and are outsourcing their war to soldiers from Sudan, Mauritania, Senegal and Eritrea as well as to mercenaries from Columbia. After the UAE pullback the Houthis have recovered several southern Yemeni cities and are planing to re-capturing the Al-Anad airbase near Aden.

The World Today – THE WAR IN YEMEN
The Yemeni popular forces attacked and destroyed the Saudi and UAE positions in Yemen’s Ma’rib province with US-made missiles.
A group called ‘Kata’eb Zeid Ibn Ali’ affiliated to the Yemeni popular forces announced that it has targeted the Saudi and UAE military forces’ gathering centers in Ma’rib in East of Yemen with the US-made anti-armor missiles.
Sharif Hassan, the spokesman of the group, told FNA on Tuesday that the popular forces had seized a large cache of US-made weapons during their operations against terrorists in the province and used them against the Saudi and UAE forces.
Yemen’s army and Ansarullah fighters had on Sunday regained control over several strategic sites in an area in the Yemeni Province of Ma’rib.
The Yemeni forces retook control of a number of sites in Kofel area in Ma’rib, informed sources said.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni forces thwarted attacks by the Saudi-led coalition forces and militants loyal to the fugitive former Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, in the same province.
Also, the Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television said on Saturday that the Yemeni army and popular committees repelled several attacks by the Saudi-led coalition forces and pro-Hadi militants on Sirwah district in Ma’rib.
Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for 230 days now to restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed at least 6,920 Yemenis, including hundreds of women and children.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures.
