Yemeni Government Welcomes The US Decision To Designate The Houthis As A Terrorist Organization
Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:
The Yemeni government has welcomed the United States’ decision to designate the Houthi terrorist group as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization.”
The Yemeni government considers this decision as a significant step towards confronting the group that continues to threaten regional and international security.
This designation has the potential to significantly impact the ongoing conflict in Yemen. By designating the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, the US has imposed a range of sanctions and restrictions on the group, including travel bans, asset freezes, and restrictions on financial transactions. These measures aim to cripple the Houthis’ ability to fund their operations and acquire weapons.
The Yemeni government hopes that this designation will encourage other countries to follow suit and increase international pressure on the Houthis to cease hostilities and engage in meaningful peace negotiations.
