Paris- YOL

Jamal Al-Awadhi, head of the National Center for Human Rights and Democratic Development NCHRDD in Yemen, who currently resides in Paris, calls on all international organizations working in areas under Houthi control to leave. Al-Awadhi said that there is a security campaign by the Houthi militias in the capital Sana’a that considers all those working with international organizations a group of spies working for the interests of the United States, UK and Israel!

So far, the Houthis have ignored a statement issued by representatives of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, France, the Netherlands, and the Republic of Yemen on September 25 to discuss the impact of the Houthis’ unjustified detention of UN staff, NGOs, civil society members, former diplomatic missions, and other personnel in Yemen, Alawadhi says.

Our sources in Sana'a confirm that all workers in international organizations in Sana'a are suspected of being spies, especially after the Lebanon war and the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, and other leaders from Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine.

Jamal Al-Awadhi was the first journalist and human right activist  that call on the Houthis to respond to NCHRDD call for peace during his preparation  to the Brussels Conference for National Reconciliation on November 3, 2014, which was attended by many political leaders except the Houthis who withdrew from participating at the last minute. As a result of the repeated threats from the Houthis at the time, Al-Awadhi was forced to leave the capital, Sana'a, for the city of Aden, but after the battles intensified and the Houthi militia stormed the city, he was forced to leave Aden by sea to Djibouti and from there to France, where he currently resides.
