In respect of its powers to act in its own name, as well as on behalf of a person and/or a group of persons, the Commission has therefore issued a letter of demand to Mr Hofmeyr to express its concerns relating to the utterances made and shared to his hundreds of thousands of followers and friends accordingly.
"The commission has an express mandate to take steps to secure appropriate redress where human rights have been violated. The commission's Eastern Cape manager Eileen Carter doesn't believe the apology is enough. I didn't force biological women to compete against sportsmen," Hofmeyr continued in the four-minute-long video. I did not force churches to marry anybody. I didn't force religious communities to turn against their scriptures.
PRAAT OVER SEKS MOVIE
I attacked Disney as the rest of the world is doing this week but here's what I did not do - unlike the LGBTQI+ community, I did not keep silence when Disney decided to sexualise our toddlers by sexualising their movie characters. "My problem and my video had nothing to do with any of that. Maybe it's time to remove the '+' and admit that you have become exactly like your oppressors. I can't find consensus though, even amongst them about who the '+' in the LGBTQI+ includes and excludes but I will take the word of my ga friends and colleagues that it does not include any illegal genders or preferences, but I know it did. In fact, I have no fight with the and I never had.
"I have no problem apologising to the gay community and I do. In a widely shared video, Hofmeyr can be seen in his car ranting about the pushback he received about his comments. He has since apologised for the comments. "Waar my generasie geleer het om met muise eende en honde te praat gaan ons kinders geleer word hoe om met muise, eende en honde seks te he…”. The war has killed some 130,000 people, including over 13,000 civilians slain in targeted attacks, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Project.Hofmeyr caused a stir on social media when he claimed Disney's agenda is to groom children to have sex with animals, adding that the channel's agenda promotes bestiality. Saudi Arabia, along with the United Arab Emirates and other countries, entered the war alongside Yemen’s internationally-recognised government in March 2015. Yemen’s war began in September 2014, when the Houthis seized the capital Sana’a and began a march south to try to seize the entire country. “The time is now to find an end to this conflict.”
“We urge the Houthis to refrain from destabilising actions and demonstrate their commitment to constructively engage in UN Special Envoy Griffiths’ efforts to achieve peace,” Price said in the statement. The sessions are part of a broader effort to negotiate a political solution to the nearly six-year conflict pitting the Houthis against Yemeni government forces supported by a Saudi-led military coalition. Martin Griffiths was set to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other officials during his two-day visit, his office said. But some Gulf region analysts expressed concern the delisting could encourage Houthis to resume attacks on Arab Gulf targets so as to exert pressure on the US on behest of Tehran.Įarlier Sunday, the UN special envoy for Yemen arrived on his first visit to Iran for talks on the grinding war. “We call on the Houthis to immediately cease attacks impacting civilian areas inside Saudi Arabia and to halt any new military offensives inside Yemen, which only bring more suffering to the Yemeni people.”įriday’s delisting had been hailed by relief agencies who had slammed the Trump administration for putting the Houthis on the list in its waning days in office. “As the president is taking steps to end the war in Yemen and Saudi Arabia has endorsed a negotiated settlement, the United States is deeply troubled by continued Houthi attacks,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement. It also came just three days after Biden ordered an end to US support for the Saudi-led offensive military operations against the rebels. The demand came only two days after the administration notified Congress that it would remove the Houthis from its list of “foreign terrorist organizations,” a designation that comes with severe US sanctions. The State Department called on the Iran-backed militant group to immediately stop attacks on civilians in Saudi Arabia and new military operations in Yemen. WASHINGTON-The administration of US President Joe Biden on Sunday warned Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels against ongoing attacks against civilians in Saudi Arabia and military operations within Yemen, just 48 hours after moving to strike the group from a terrorism blacklist.
