An open letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, denouncing the Security Council's pandering to the Gulf Corporation Council

Dear Secretary Kerry:

The recent Security Council resolution is a craven pandering to the Gulf Corporation Council in particular and to our own country, in demanding that the Houthis suspend War while permitting other States to continue War, including War upon Civilians, including air and naval bombardments.

The GCC facilitate Ali Abdullah Saleh's departure with some 20 to 60 B (U.N. Security Council Experts estimate) in Yemeni money, which he is now at liberty to use in conducting War against his former, and widely unpopular Vice-President.

The security Council would better

-- require all States and individuals to suspend military action,

-- declare Yemen a Failed State, assume a Mandate for its governance, insure that the remaining oil revenues go to providing for food production in starving Yemen rather than into any private hands,

--recover the money that the GCC allowed Mr. Saleh to steal from the  people of Yemen and return it to the people,

-- allow the South of Yemen to vote on partition,

--  and insure a fair  distribution of  revenues from oil and coffee to all Yemeni.

Only then are fair, representative elections possible.

Yemen is in dire peril.  It is time for the United Nations to stop busying itself with pointless pandering resolutions and rescue all Yemeni from the starvation they face when oil reserves dry up in the next few years.

I urge you to at least support Russia's call on all States and Persons to cease fighting in Yemen.  The GCC comes to the table with unclean hanns.  It should be given no special status, and should be condemned for its past meddling in Yemen's affairs.

Your form for email says a response is due in 3 or so days.  I will print your response.

Sincerely,

Durell Douthit

If anyone should come out on top, it should be this valiant South Yemen youngman in Aden, defending his turf against all comers.

STOP IT!  STOP IT!

HAVE YE NO MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS?

COMMON, KERRY.  DEFY THE GCC.  DO THE RIGHT THING!  NOW!
