Deputy Foreign Minister in the Yemeni National Salvation Government, Hussein Al-Ezzi, has directed on Sunday an important message to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, after his decision to include Ansarullah on the blacklist of violators of children’s rights.
Al-Ezzi addressed the UN Secretary-General a series of tweets on his account, saying: “Dear Guterres, are you okay?
The children you are talking about, no one of them comes from the coalition countries. The planes, battleships, and forces that surrounded Yemeni children, killed thousands of them as well as their fathers and mothers, and destroyed their schools and hospitals, do not belong to us at all either,” Al-Ezzi said.
عزيزي غوتيريش هل أنت بخير؟
١-الأطفال الذين تتحدث عنهم ليس من بينهم طفل واحد من أطفال أي دولة من دول التحالف(جميعهم أطفالنا)
٢-الطائرات والبوارج والقوات التي حاصرت اطفال اليمن وقتلت الالاف منهم ومن آبائهم وأمهاتهم ودمرت مدارسهم ومستشفياتهم هي طائرات وبوارج وقوات لاتتبعنا بالمطلق👇— حسين العزي (@hussinalezzi5) June 19, 2021
“We Yemenis, are the fathers of those children who are killed, wounded, disabled, deprived of travel for treatment, and who die every day at the rate of one child every 10 minutes.”
The Deputy Foreign Minister continued addressing Guterres: “Did you mean what you said? Did you intend that position? Or did you plan to console us but then by mistake sent the condolences to our opponents and the blacklist to us? Are you sure you’re okay?”

The Shura Council, the upper house of Yemeni parliament, has also issued a declaration of condemnation of the UN decision, pointing out the vast array of crimes committed against Yemeni children by the Saudi-led invaders.
