Yemeni activists and politicians called for the termination of the mission of the international envoy, Griffiths, to demonstrate his identification with the Houthi terrorist group, and his transformation into part of the problem in Yemen, not the solution.


Under the hashtag #ChangeGriffit_Necessity, Yemenis launched a campaign of demands to end the tampering of the UN envoy in Yemen, who called him the "Houthi official spokesman", asserting that he has become speaking on behalf of the Houthi and misleading the international community, and he does not want to end the war, because he is profiting from it, as his annual budget has reached $ 20 million.

They said that the UN envoy is part of the problem and not a party to the solution, and that he is the misleading source for the international community, the one that wastes time and opportunities, and the main obstacle to finding solutions to the situation in Yemen.


Some of the Twitterverse believed that Griffiths was content with visiting Aden and Riyadh, and pressuring the government and the coalition to convey his point of view, which is basically the view of the Houthis, and he stopped visiting Sana'a, in a clear convergence to adopting the Houthi’s point of view to serve the desires of using it as a blackmail card.

They accused him of carrying out his mission in his briefing before the Security Council to polish and beautify the face of the terrorist Houthi movement and play the role of negotiator on its behalf, explaining: "What matters to a man is his continuation in his position even if the war continues for a thousand years."

They stressed the failure of Envoy Griffiths to achieve any achievement or adhere to any vision, and that his initiatives are modified according to the position of the Houthi, and his positions parallel their reactions to him.

In sarcastic terms, some said, “If you want to see the Houthi’s declared political demands for the provisions of Iran's occupation of Yemen, do not tire yourself out too much in searching ... Just listen to the UN envoy’s reports submitted to the Security Council, as they are copies and pastes except for some frills ..  

The tweeters unanimously agreed that Griffiths caused harm to the Yemeni cause and set it back, worked to complicate the political scene and prolonged the suffering of the Yemenis, and the demand to change it is indeed obligatory, and they said: Stop the tampering of Griffiths.
