UN Security Council extends sanctions against Yemen’s Ansarullah
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has extended for one year its sanctions against Yemen’s Ansarullah movement amid unabated Saudi aggression on the impoverished country.
The Security Council on Wednesday extended its sanctions on Ansarullah movement and the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, until February 26, 2017.
The UNSC also extended the mandate of the Panel of Experts assisting the committee charged with overseeing those measures until March 27, 2017.
The UN Security Council passed a resolution last year targeting the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen.
The council’s imposed sanctions include an arms embargo, asset freezes and travel bans against Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the movement, Yemen’s former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, and his son Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Two senior Ansarullah leaders, Abdul Khaliq al-Houthi and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim were also blacklisted by the UNSC.
