The statement stated that the position of the Security Council regarding the inclusion of leaders from the Yemeni army who defend the people and the land to the sanctions list, is a step to cover the coalition crimes in Yemen.

The ministry added that this Council’s statement revealed the fact that it legitimizes and encourage the countries of the aggression coalition to commit more crimes and massacres against the Yemeni people.

The ministry said that the Security Council was the one who gave the countries of the aggression the international cover to launch airstrikes on the Yemeni provinces to kill civilians and burn their property, in addition to what those countries are currently doing to train mercenary fighters at the hands of the American Marines in Hadramout and to bring a group of takfiris to fight in Marib.
