UN Watch invited Yemeni & Swedish journalist, columnist & influencer Luai Ahmed to address the United Nations:
Transcript...
“High Commissioner, my name is Luai Ahmed, and I come from Yemen. May I ask why your report mentions Israel 188 times — yet fails to mention the Islamic Republic of Iran even once?
How can you speak about the conflict while ignoring the party who armed, trained, and funded the terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis — who have been bombing Israel thousands of times?
Why do you not mention that the Houthis in Yemen have spent millions of dollars to fire hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel, instead of using the money to feed my starving people?
And I ask the UN, the Arab League, and all the campus activists who have been waving the Palestinian flag since October 7: Where is the Yemeni flag?
In my country, half a million people have died in the last 10 years. The biggest famine and humanitarian crisis in modern history. Why does no one care when half a million Yemenis die?
And let’s look at Sudan. In less than two years, more than 150,000 people have been killed. Where is the flag of Sudan? Nowhere.
In Syria, half a million people were killed. Where is Syria’s flag? Nowhere.
Mr. President, why is it, that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs, no one bats an eye? Where is the outrage? Where are the protests?
And why is Qatar sitting here as a member of this Human Rights Council when they host the Hamas terror chiefs in luxury hotels in Doha?”
(UN Human Rights Council, Feb. 27, 2025)
