UN Says Over 200,000 People Displaced in Yemen

Most of the relevant news never makes it into the mainstream media. I've seen several articles today titled, "Why Haiti Has Problems" or something similar and none of them have addresses US corporate control of the country.

Likewise, nowhere do we see what's actually happening in Yemen. I can't say whether the Houthi's are right or wrong for fighting the Yemeni government. I do know that Yemen is a Presidential Republic with elections but I would guess that the Houthi claims of corruption and additional claims that their needs are ignored are probably accurate. Who really knows. What I'm certain of is that few of you have heard about the 200,000 displaced persons there.

UNITED NATIONS -- More than 200,000 people have been displaced in northern Yemen by the conflict between the government troops and Al Houti forces since it began in 2004, a UN spokesman said here Tuesday.

With the "latest influx" entering its sixth month, the shelter capacity at internally displaced people (IDP) camps has become strained and aid resources depleted, the spokesman for the UN secretary-general, Martin Nesirky, told reporters at the UN Headquarters in New York.

In a statement released Tuesday, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said that "there is no lull in the fierce fighting" as thousands of civilians continue to flee to neighboring provinces.

Overcrowding at the IDP camp has caused great concern, where for example, Al Mazrak 1 camp in the Hajjah province has now over 21,000 people which doubles its original capacity, read the UNHCR statement.

Another great concern has been the number of IDPS outside the camps where "huge makeshift sites along the roads" are close to the Al Mazrak camps, the statement read.

When asked at the news briefing here Tuesday if the UN would try and resolve Yemen's problems politically, Nesirky indicated that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would be taking part in an international conference in London later this month to deal with the issue of Yemen where counter-terrorism and radicalization in that country will be discussed.

Yemen said on Tuesday that the international conference will not tackle Yemen's internal affairs. "The Yemeni government will not accept anything in the London government that will harm its sovereignty or lead to interference in its internal affairs," Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Abdullah al-Kurbi was quoted by official Saba news agency as saying.

End

I'm so very tired of these wars that are breaking out everywhere. You may have read my post about Blackwater/Z in Somalia, we know our own military is fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan and I suspect we have military personnel, contractors and CIA involved in Congo, Nigeria, Sudan, Angola, Kenya, Niger, Columbia and other places. It's just really frightening. It's also saddening to know that my own government is involved in a global effort that results in so many innocents murdered.
