UNITED NATIONS
GATE, February 3 – UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres on March
27 lavished
praised on
Saudi Crown
Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman now accused
with respect to
Jamal Khashoggi,
accepting
a $930 million
check from the
Saudis and UAE,
with not a
word of the
Saudi led
bombing
campaign that
has killed
civilians and
caused cholera
in Yemen. On
January 31 the
UN Security
Council held a
meeting on
Yemen, but it
was closed-door
and afterward
only pro-Coalition
Kuwait spoke
on camera.
Beyond
Guterres' MOU
with MBS, his
Global
Communicator
Alison Smale has
appointed Maher
Nasser,
who blocks the
Press on Twitter,
as chief promoter
of the UAE's Expo
2020 Dubai, see

Now
on February 3,
from Guterres'
Office
of the
Spokesperson -
not signed by
lead spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric-
this: "The
third meeting
of the
Redeployment
Coordination
Committee
(RCC), chaired
by General
Cammaert,
convened today
on board a UN
vessel berthed
in the port of
Hudaydah. Both
the Government
of Yemen and
Houthi RCC
representatives
are present.
General
Cammaert
opened the
meeting by
underlining
the importance
of respecting
the ceasefire
which came
into effect on
18 December.
He warned the
parties about
the fragility
of the
ceasefire and
urged them to
instruct their
commanders on
the ground to
refrain from
any further
violations
that would
jeopardize the
Stockholm
Agreement and
the broader
peace process
for Yemen.
Both parties
have
reiterated
their
commitment to
implementing
the Hudaydah
aspects of the
Stockholm
Agreement, and
in particular,
underscored
their
commitment to
finding a
solution that
would open up
the
Hudaydah-Sana’a
road to allow
humanitarians
access to the
Red Sea Mills.
Talks are
cordial and
constructive.
They will
continue
tomorrow.
3 February
2019"
Cammaert, who
covered up for
the UN in
South Sudan,

January 29 not

Press Agency
announced that
“The
Secretary-General
of the United
Nations
expressed his
gratitude for
the Kingdom’s
support in
pushing for
positive
results in the
dialogue
between the
Yemeni parties."
Meanwhile,
from Washington
DC on January
30, the
day after Sen
Jeff Merkley

the Saudis'
activities in
Oregon,

"Sens.
Bernie Sanders
(I-Vt.), Mike
Lee (R-Utah)
and Chris
Murphy
(D-Conn.) and
Reps. Ro
Khanna
(D-Calif.),
Mark Pocan
(D-Wis.) and
Pramila
Jayapal

efforts in the
Senate and
House

the Saudi-led
war in Yemen
pursuant to
the War Powers
Resolution.
