Yemeni journalist Fatehi al-Azraq has attacked the UN for offering technical assistance to the Houthi militia-controlled telecommunication network at a time when the militia controlling the capital Sana'a throttle connectivity in the government-held areas. In a tweet, al-Azraq said, "All Houthi held areas have no problems in mobile phone coverage, because the UN has been bringing in telecommunication boost equipment (to Houthi authorities) through Sana'a airport categorizing that as a humanitarian service. All the regions liberated from Houthis suffer poor coverage and are denied these equipment under the pretext of anti-Houthi measures."
In the Yemeni government's war to restore the country from the Shia terrorists, international pressures prevented it from restoring even basic services and apparatuses like the telecommunication and internet services.
