Bahrain welcomes US decision to designate Houthi group as terrorist organisation

Manama, Jan. 11 (BNA): The Kingdom of Bahrain welcomed the decision of the United States to designate the Houthi group as a terrorist organisation and its leaders as terrorists. It described the move as a necessary step to end the group’s serious violations towards the brotherly Yemeni people and its persistence to undermine regional security and stability, in implementation of the agenda of the Iranian regime that supports it. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs commended the great efforts exerted by the US to ensure peace, security, and stability in the region and the whole world as well as combat terrorism and extremist organisations. It also stressed the great importance of the decision to designate the Houthi militias as a terrorist organisation and the need for the international community to take similar measures against this terrorist group. It pointed out the goup’s visious assaults against the Yemeni people and neighboring countries, its threats to international navigation and its continued obstruction of all efforts aimed at reaching a lasting peace and a political solution that preserves the unity and territorial integrity of the Republic of Yemen.
