May 24, 2021 Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar Al-Eryani. ADEN — Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar Al-Eryani called on the international community to designate the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization. He added that the recently-imposed sanctions on a number of Iran-backed Houthi militia leaders, reaffirmed the US administration's move towards rescinding its decision to revoke designing the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization. He said that the US decision was a step basically taken to encourage Houthi militia to engage in the endeavor exerted to bring about tranquility and peace in Yemen, but the militia deemed it a green light for further escalation, politically as well as militarily.
