- wffurr 6y agoFTA: "The New York Times reported on November 24 that the Houthis will grant permission to a United Nations (UN) team to board the Safer to inspect and repair the vessel in the near future."
- nradov 6y agoSo the inspection hasn't actually been granted. And while the ship is floating in the open sea loaded with flammable cargo it's nearly impossible to conduct the sort of structural repairs that would be necessary to stop the oil spills.
- djohnston 6y agoFrom the article it seems like they're allowing a UN team to come in and investigate/repair, and I hope they'll be allowed to do what is necessary. This would be a good moment for the UN to demonstrate its value when it is often criticised as ineffective.
- unstatusthequo 6y agoI’d love to see some “vigilante tanker” come drill into it and heist the oil out to eliminate the threat. Environmental terrorism is what is occurring here. Houthis should be treated as such. This is why Iran can’t have nice things.
- ada1981 6y agoSounds like Trump may be right that this is a terrorist group. Clean up your mess or you are the mess that needs cleaned up.
