    >Houthi rebels have detained 20 employees at a UN facility in Sana’a, the capital of [Yemen](https://www.theguardian.com/world/yemen).

    >They are holding five Yemenis and 15 international workers but released another 11 after questioning them on Sunday. It was the second raid on a UN building in Sana’a in 24 hours.

    >A UN spokesperson said officials were in contact with the [Houthis](https://www.theguardian.com/world/houthi) and other parties “to resolve this serious situation as swiftly as possible, end the detention of all personnel, and restore full control over its facilities in Sana’a”.

    >A second UN official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the rebels confiscated all communications equipment from the facility, including phones, servers and computers

    as a personal aside, is reddit done pretending the Houthis are some good guys in a struggle against Israel?
