Yemen’s Houthis have criticized a new U.S.-led task force that will patrol the Red Sea following a series of attacks by the Iran-backed rebels in a waterway that’s essential to global trade.
FILE - In this photo released by the U.S. Navy, Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Hunter Pemberton, assigned to the USS Cole, takes part in an exercise on the Red Sea, March 29, 2022. Mohammed Abdul-Salam, Yemen's Houthi chief negotiator and spokesman, said late Friday, April 15, that the U.S. move in the Red Sea, which comes amid a cease-fire in the country's civil war, contradicts Washingtons claim of supporting the U.N.-brokered truce.
Another Houthi leader, Daifallah al-Shami, also criticized the U.S.-led task force, saying it sends negative signals and “gives a darker reading to the truce,” according to the rebels’ media office. He also did not elaborate. The Red Sea runs from Egypt’s Suez Canal in the north down through the narrow Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the south that separates Africa from the Arabian Peninsula.
