- Waterluvian 3y agoI don’t understand the power dynamics, tbh. How does the security council have the power to stop this rebel group’s operations?
- aaomidi 3y agoThis group has stated that a ceasefire in Israel is enough for them to stop iirc.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> group has stated that a ceasefire in Israel is enough for them to stop They’ve also stated they’re targeting Israeli ships. There is no evidence any single person has control over their various armed groups.
- r00fus 3y agoThe Houthis are not "various armed groups", they're essentially the liberation government of Yemen. They control the capital city for example. I'm pretty sure if a ceasefire were ordered, they would be highly capable of stopping the targeting.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> UNSC might force a ceasefire today The United States will enforce a ceasefire? Because that’s what this practically requires. In reality, SC is voting on a “stripped-down draft resolution [that] calls for an increase in humanitarian aid but does not include a call for a cessation of hostilities, which had been unacceptable to the US” [1].
