On
Yemen, Saudi
Cites Attacks
to Right to
Act to UNSC,
Riposte to
Zarif's Op-Ed?
By Matthew
Russell Lee
UNITED
NATIONS,
September 15
-- The UN
Secretariat of
Ban Ki-moon's
bungling of
Yemen
mediation has
become ever
more clear,
according to
multiple
sources and
documents
exclusively
seen by Inner
City Press,
see below.
On August 18,
Inner City
Press exclusively
published the
proposal that
Ban's envoy
Ismail Ould
Cheikh Ahmed
made in
Kuwait.
This was the
proposal
described as
blatantly
one-sided that
led to a
collapse of
the talks, the
Saudi-led
Coalition
increased
airstrikes and
the death of
more
civilians.
Now on
September 14
the Saudi
ambassador to
the UN has
written to the
UN Security
Council to
complain -
belatedly, in
the case of
events of
August 31 - of
attacks from
Yemen, saying
Saudi Arabia
reaffirms “its
right to take
all
appropriate
measures.” Letter
posted on
Facebook, here.
But they've
already been
engaged in
airstrikes all
over. Some
have wondered
what the
response to
Javad Zarif's
op-ed in the
New York Times
would be.
