• MEPs condemn Iran-backed group's missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia's airports and infrastructure
• Resolution urges severing of financing streams and freezing of assets linked to the Yemeni militia

LONDON: The European Parliament called on Thursday for the Houthi militia in Yemen to be included on the EU’s list of terrorist organizations.

MEPs overwhelmingly backed a resolution that said the Iran-backed group’s military and political wings, leadership, and military and security apparatus, should be designated.

The resolution condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the Houthi’s missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia, including deadly strikes on Riyadh’s international airport.

The text called for all channels of financing for the Houthis to be dismantled and for the European Union to freeze funds and economic resources belonging to the group and its facilitators.

While the vote was non-binding, it adds more pressure on European nations to act against the militia.

EU member states would have to all agree on the terrorist designation for the listing to take effect.

You are siding with the western neocons (i.e. Canadians) over the MidEast crisis rather then the righteous. I have every right to call you out.

I don't think Houthis care what Europeans call them.

Thats because the West wants to side with the Sunnis (Saudi Arabia), than say the Houthis and their sect.

you dimwitted Canadian. You probably don't even know that the Ansar-Allah are Zaidis who in terms of beliefs are closer to sunnis rather than jafari shias. I am not going to get baited into a religious discussion but you being a braindead animu weeb I felt compelled to correct you.

Is this how you see the world weeb walay bachay? sects rather than what is right and what is wrong?

Chup kar kay apne animu cartoons dekh te raho canadian bachay. Yeh koi 'fakhr' kee baat hay kay 'West' kis kee taraf daree kar raha hay kiya?

Europe is constantly choosing sides in various issues; it lacks the ability to address problems and can only be a follower.
