Yemeni human rights activist: Houthi militia chose to ignite war in the country
The Houthi terrorist militia continues to commit crimes against citizens in many areas of Yemen. The local political street, as well as international and UN agencies, hope that the militia’s steadfastness toward pacification in Yemen will continue, hoping that the group will agree to a permanent peace plan.
Houthi escalation
“The Houthi escalation in Yemen was reported to have been the bombing of civilian areas in Mawza district, located in the western countryside of Taiz province (southwest of Yemen), killing and wounding 12 civilians, including women and children, in parallel with the bombing of three houses in Sirwah district, western Marib province, in retaliation against those opposed to its coup d’état presence.”
Houthi abuses
“On Friday, the first day of Eid al-Fitr, Houthi militias blew up the homes of three citizens in the village of al-Zour in Sirwah district, western Marib province, a human rights organization said.”
The Musavat Organization for Rights and Freedoms said it received reports that militias blew up the homes of Saleh bin Saleh al-Dawla, Abdullah Saleh al-Dawla and Saleh Nasser al-Dawla al-Jahmi in al-Zour village in western Marib province.
“The organization said in its statement that the total number of homes that the Houthi militias have blown up in the village of Al-Zour alone, which is under the administrative jurisdiction of Sirwah district, since mid-February reached more than nine houses, as part of the militia’s systematic policy to intimidate its opponents and forcibly displace them from their areas after blowing up their homes.”
Community theft and looting
Yemeni human rights activist Abdul Sattar Al Shamiri says that the Houthi violations come at a time when the Yemeni street is full of discontent with the group’s behavior, which led to the impoverishment of society while it deliberately stole all resources and forbade the distribution of aid to the needy and the poor.
He added that militia practices of impoverishing society, restricting charitable work, and preventing charity for the poor led, finally, before Eid Al Fitr in Sanaa, to the death of more than 80 people in a stampede after militias opened fire on electricity wires at the aid distribution site by a commercial group.”
He explained that the Houthi militia chose to ignite the war and that it chooses to continue the war without regard for the people’s suffering and the destruction and looting of public and private institutions and properties, making Yemen an example of the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and restricting matters to reconciliation and commitment to peace.
