The Monday Houthi attack in Abu Dhabi is still dominating talk in the region, with the United Arab Emirates summoning the UN Security Council, and calling on them to unanimously condemn the “terrorist attacks.”
The Houthi attack involved drones and ballistic missiles, hitting the fuel depot and airport in Abu Dhabi, killing three and doing damage. Even though this was attacks on infrastructure in the context of a war in which Yemen’s infrastructure has been under non-stop attack, the UAE and allies are pushing for unique condemnation in this case, and labeling it terror.
UAE envoy Lana Nussseibeh declared the attack part of “Houthis’ efforts to spread terrorism and chaos.” Cross-border attacks are growing on both sides of this war, and this was the first time UAE territory got hit.
UN officials have already condemned the Abu Dhabi attack, and were also very critical of the retaliations against Yemen’s capital, which killed a number of civilians. The UAE’s call for a meeting suggests they are looking for a more one-sided resolution.
Sheer chutzpah …
Wonder if any of the esteemed SC members will bring up the seven years of war crimes by UAE and Saudis ?
Since the UAE is one of the countries attacking Yemen, any retaliation from Yemen is just a normal thing you should expect when you are at war.
The Houthis should have waited until that major golf tournament that is held there annually. When all those professional golfers check their consciences at the door and accept appearance money while not giving a flying fuck for all the misery that the UAE is responsible for doling out.
Cry, scream and tantrum more, little bitches.
